SUMMARY:Born of the Bear Dance: Dugan Aguilar’s Photographs of Native California
DESCRIPTION:Experience the diverse voices of California’s Indigenous peoples as they shape the present and future through the lens of celebrated Indigenous photographer Dugan Aguilar. \nOMCA’s latest exhibition\, Born of the Bear Dance: Dugan Aguilar’s Photographs of Native California offers guests a first look at a significant collection that highlights Indigenous endurance and explores the vivid tapestry of contemporary Indigenous California life. \nAguilar’s work\, spanning from 1982 to 2018\, defies colonial narratives and captures instead an unwavering Indigenous presence and dynamic cultural practices. His powerful images document a rich array of Indigenous experiences\, from the breathtaking California landscapes to gatherings\, ceremonies\, and the artistry of basket weaving. \nThis collection honors and showcases moments of profound cultural significance and weaves together the stories of resilience and unyielding vitality that define contemporary Native life. More than simple documents\, his photographs radiate a sense of quiet but determined celebration and resistance. Drawing from Aguilar’s extensive photographic archive\, gifted to OMCA by his family in 2022\, the exhibition brings these images to life through video\, audio\, and narratives from Indigenous artists\, activists\, elders\, and community members.

SUMMARY:Fire Kinship: Southern California Native Ecology and Art
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Runs: January 12 – July 13\, 2025\n@The Fowler Musuem at UCLA\n\n\n\n\nMark you calendars for the upcoming exhibit Fire Kinship: Southern California Native Ecology and Art.  It introduces fire as a generative element that connects us to our past and offers a collective path toward a sustainable future. The show presents a living history and expertise of the Tongva\, Cahuilla\, Luiseño\, and Kumeyaay communities.  \n  \nPrior to the colonization of Southern California in the 18th century\, Native communities throughout the region used controlled fire practices to ensure the vitality of their local ecosystems. Fire-based land management practices ranged from small burns to spur healthy plant growth\, to larger ones that strategically eradicated invasive species and reduced fuel loads (preventing catastrophic fires). Fire Kinship counters the attitudes of fear and illegality around fire\, arguing for a return to Native practices\, in which fire is regarded as a vital aspect of land stewardship\, community wellbeing\, and tribal sovereignty. These conversations have been shaped by key community leaders throughout Southern California: Lazaro Arvizu (Tongva)\, Marlene’ Dusek (Payómkawichum\, Kúupangawish\, Kumeyaay\, and Czech)\, William Madrigal (Cahuilla/ Payómkawichum)\, Wesley Ruise Jr. (La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians)\, Stanley Rodriguez (Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel)\, William Pink (Pala Band of Luiseño Mission Indians)\, Lorene Sisquoc (Mountain Cahuilla/ Fort Sill Apache)\, and Myra Masiel-Zamora (Pechanga Band of Indians). \nThe baskets\, ollas\, rabbit sticks\, bark skirts\, and canoes presented in this exhibition were made possible through the relationship between people\, place\, and fire. Commissioned video\, sculpture\, portrait paintings\, and installations by contemporary artists such as Weshoyot Alvitre (Tongva and Scottish)\, Emily Clarke (Cahuilla Band of Indians)\, Gerald Clarke Jr. (Cahuilla Band of Indians)\, Leah Mata Fragua (Yak Tityu Tityu Yak Tiłhini Northern Chumash)\, Summer Herrera (Payómkawichum)\, Lazaro Arvizu (Tongva)\, and Marlene’ Dusek (Payómkawichum\, Kúupangawish\, Kumeyaay\, and Czech) respond to and rejoin the cultural and historical objects\, spurring a dialogue of critique\, reflection\, and futurity. The exhibition presents a living history that centers the expertise of Tongva\, Cahuilla\, Luiseño\, and Kumeyaay communities. Fire Kinship reintroduces fire as a generative element\, one that connects us to our past and offers a collective path toward a sustainable future.

SUMMARY:The Storyteller's Hands: Carvings And Teachings of Bun Lucas
DESCRIPTION:Santa Rosa Junior College Multicultural Museum spotlight on Milton “Bun” Lucas\nMilton “Bun” Lucas (1925-1996)\, a revered elder of Pomo and Miwok descent from the Stewarts Point/Kashia Pomo community\, was a powerful spiritual leader dedicated to keeping his people’s cultural traditions alive. Through Native dance and song\, Bun passed on the rich origin stories of the Pomo and Coast Miwok peoples\, reconnecting generations to their heritage and ancestral roots. \nFrom a young age\, Bun honed his skills as a woodcarver\, starting with his grandfather’s pocket knife. He spent his life creating intricate carvings of animals and human figures\, selling them at local venues like Midgley’s Flea Market in Sebastopol. His work was mentioned in a 1979 Press Democrat article\, showcasing his passion for sharing his culture through art.

SUMMARY:15th Annual Short Play Festival: To Indigeneity and Beyond!
DESCRIPTION:Join the museum for an exhilarating afternoon of staged readings featuring these groundbreaking new plays\, where talented playwrights will compete for the $500 Thomas Studie Gadugi Audience Prize and the $1000 Von Marie Atchley Excellence in Playwriting Award. \nFor far too long\, when most people thought of Native Americans\, they often conjured up outdated images of exotic figures from history\, adorned in leather and feathers\, trapped behind museum glass. Few see a beautifully vibrant culture that thrives today. \nFor their 15th Annual Short Play Festival\, they asked Native playwrights to boldly go where few have imagined Native people before: the future! What captivating tales have they woven? Witness a future filled with hope\, the delightfully absurd\, and the downright terrifying.

Hosted and produced by comedian Jackie Keliiaa (Netflix) the showcase features the best and brightest Native comedians across North America. Founded in 2020\, Good Medicine was first launched as a virtual comedy show raising funds for tribes impacted by covid-19. Since the show’s humble beginnings on Keliiaa’s kitchen table\, Good Medicine has sold-out shows across the country and featured comedians hailing from over 30 tribal Nations who have been seen on Comedy Central\, Netflix\, ABC\, NBC\, FX and more!\nGood Medicine is more than a comedy show—it cultivates joy\, community\, and creates narrative change. “We believe that humor has the power to heal and build bridges of understanding across communities. And did I mention our shows are also really funny?\,” said Keliiaa\, “You won’t find any stoic Hollywood tropes in these sets; these comedians are using humor to define Native identity in our own words and on our own terms.” Don’t miss this nationally acclaimed showcase featuring fresh and diverse Native voices.\nJoin Chico Performances for a pre-performance Party on the Patio featuring food trucks\, beverages\, and live music. The fun starts at 6 PM\, see you there!\nLearn more about Good Medicine: An Evening of Live Native Stand-Up at https://www.chicoperformances.com/…/good-medicine.php\nChicoPerformances.com is the only authorized ticket seller for all Chico Performances events.

SUMMARY:We’éqlapish: Live Poetry of Indigenous Women
DESCRIPTION:Subversive Verses\, a collective of California Native women centering the dynamic voices of our community and celebrating the strength of Indigenous emotion through art\, music\, and poetry. \nRSVP at https://tinyurl.com/m2y25ahk \nIn Payómkawichum\, We’éqlapish is a complex word\, but roughly translates to an act of disputing/disagreeing with something. When using it\, you’re letting it be known you don’t agree with someone’s words or actions against you. It’s pretty open-ended\, and can be applied to so many instances: A government that wants to eradicate us\, an ex who doesn’t respect us\, etc. It’s relevant to the energy we are bringing to this event\, actively using our words/poetry to stand up for ourselves. In short; We aren’t gonna go down that easy.)
