On Saturday, January 31 at 2:00 pm, join the talented Acjachemen performer, Jacque Nunez, as she transports you into the traditional life of the Acjachemen people – and into the world of our shared past.  

This show is FREE for families!   

Jacque will present Journeys to the Past, a California Indian presentation, that shows the beauty of our culture and ignites others to discover their own.  This unique program takes families on a journey into the lifestyle of the California Indian, in particular the Acjachemen Nation, which flourished in Southern California hundreds of years before the Spanish influx.  Jacque shares through stories and songs her people’s indigenous tools, instruments, games and clothing.  She includes how American Indians preserve their culture today by participating in Intertribal Pow wows.  Families will leave with a wonderful understanding of “environmentalism” and what it means to be “keepers of the earth.” (source: http://journeystothepast.com/oldsite/)

Plus during the event, between 1:00 – 2:00 pm & 3:00 – 4:00 pm, children can make their own Acjachemen toys, art and games to take home or give as gifts.
