Voices From California Indigenous Language & Cultural revitalization: An In-Person Conversation with L. Frank and Catalina Gomes

Across what we now call California, Indigenous communities are fighting to protect and preserve languages, cultural practices, and ways of being. From protests to protect sacred sites, to advocacy for federal recognition and land return, the fight to tend to, relearn, and expand Indigenous cultural practices is a continuous passion-filled struggle.

Join us for a conversation on Indigenous language and cultural revitalization with Two-Spirit Tongva/Ajachmem artist and tribal activist L. Frank and Ramaytush descendant and Founder of Muchia Te’ Indigenous Land Trust Catalina Gomes. Sharing their personal journeys of learning and reconnecting with their tribal languages, L. Frank and Catalina discuss the fight for the visibility of Indigenous languages and cultural practices across California.

L. Frank and Catalina invite you to examine what it means to revitalize Indigenous culture and language and to engage in pathways to be better allies to Indigenous communities on the front lines of this work.

Admission is $0-$20
