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:Exhibition Walk-through: Fire Kinship
DESCRIPTION:Join exhibition co-curators Daisy Ocampo Diaz (Caxcan) and Lina Tejeda (Pomo) for a walk-through of Fire Kinship: Southern California Native Ecology and Art. The exhibition focuses on the important kinship ties that connect Indigenous communities to the land\, and on the inextricable connection between ecological knowledge\, spirituality\, and creative expression. \nDaisy Ocampo Diaz earned her Ph.D. in history from the University of California\, Riverside in 2019. Her research in Native and public history informs her work on museum exhibitions\, historical preservation projects\, and community-based archives. She integrates critical race theory\, decolonial praxis of tribal sovereignty\, and community traditions to create a new direction of inclusivity in Public History that visibilizes Indigenous people\, voices\, and community narratives. \nLina Tejeda recently earned her M.A. in history from California State University\, San Bernardino. Her areas of focus are California Indian studies and museum studies/public history. She is passionate about working in institutions and advocating for the return of sacred cultural items to tribal nations to which they belong\, and telling the true histories of the California Indian people. Lina is a traditional Pomo dancer and a student of her cultural traditions\, including basket weaving\, gathering materials\, regalia making\, and singing.

SUMMARY:Chumash Basketry: Art and Life
DESCRIPTION:A new exhibit at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History features the living art of Chumash basketry\, a tradition with deep roots in the region. For thousands of years\, baskets played essential roles in all aspects of traditional Chumash life.

Chumash Basketry: Art & Life at the Museum highlights the connections between those living traditions and the natural world\, in the first comprehensive exhibition featuring the world’s largest collection of Chumash baskets. Select modern works by contemporary Chumash weavers put the abundant historic examples in the context of continuing traditions\, and the words of Chumash elders and weavers are interspersed throughout the exhibit\, expressing the personal significance\, joys\, and challenges of basketry. This exhibit will be on view through 2026. \nCost: Included with Museum admission\, which is free to all Native people on request

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Traditional Tastes
DESCRIPTION:Step back in time and discover the deep history of seaweed gathering\, smelt fishing\, and eeling in Humboldt Bay at the Clarke Historical Museum! \nDid you know that Wiyot and Yurok peoples have been fishing smelt along the Northern California coast for over 1\,300 years? Using A-frame nets and dip nets\, these expert fishers gathered smelt—also known as Candlefish—and dried them in the warm sand\, a time-honored tradition passed through generations.\nMeanwhile\, eeling at night along the Mad River was a skill requiring patience\, precision\, and beautifully crafted eel hooks. Once caught\, these prized fish were filleted\, smoked\, and enjoyed for their rich taste and nutritional value.\nExplore the tools\, techniques\, and cultural significance of these fishing traditions at our “Traditional Tastes” exhibit! \nNow on display at the Clarke Historical Museum. Come experience the heritage of Humboldt Bay’s Indigenous foodways—because history is more than stories\, it’s the flavors\, the traditions\, and the connection to the land.
