SUMMARY:Kewet: Malki Museum Memorial Weekend
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Annual Fiesta includes honoring Native American veterans\, arts and crafts\, fry bread\, bird songs\, and dances. The Malki Museum sponsors three main events each year which are designed to be traditional and educational.\nFiesta or Kéwet \nMemorial Weekend\, Sunday\, May 24\, 2026\nMalki’s annual Fiesta is a time of gathering together to share culture and traditions. It is also the major fundraising event for the Museum. Each year hundreds of both natives and non-natives come to participate in this unique event which has been an annual celebration since 1966\, when the Kewét (the Cahuilla word for fiesta) tradition was revived after 20 years. \nThe first Fiesta drew a crowd of about 5\,000 people\, with about one-third comprised of natives from all over California. Many local natives have attended since they were children and have grown up watching first-hand as their culture comes alive in the center stage with dancing\, drums\, bird singing\, native arts and crafts\, and the smell of fresh cooked Indian Fry Bread. At the first Fiesta there was a large amount of pit-roasted barbequed beef\, served with other traditional foods such as corn\, beans\, and homemade tortillas\, and these foods are still served every year. \nThe Indian dancers and singers represent several tribes from southern California\, and many of the vendors in the Ramada booths are Native Americans from all over the Southwestern States. The Ramada booths were constructed by volunteers especially for this annual event\, and were made from alder forks\, willow\, arrow weed\, and palm fronds which were hauled out of the local desert canyons. \nThe Fiesta is held each year on the Sunday of Memorial weekend in May. Any vendors interested in displaying their art or merchandise should contact the museum.

SUMMARY:Reclaiming Our Stories: Live Podcast Recording
DESCRIPTION:Experience and evening of conversation\, storytelling\, and community as voices from the series gather to explore Indigenous histories\, cultures\, and futures. \nHosted and story-woven by the Honorable Victorio L. Shaw\, Esq.\, this six-episode “Reclaiming Our Stories” series centers on Indigenous voices\, leadership\, and lived experiences from across California. Through conversations with tribal leaders\, artists\, educators\, and advocates\, the series explores narrative sovereignty\, cultural continuity\, and the power of storytelling. \nAs the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence\, Reclaiming Our Stories invites listeners to broaden their understanding of history by engaging perspectives that are too often absent from mainstream narratives. \nFeatured voices in the series include Judge Abby Abinanti (Yurok)\, Georgiana Sanchez (Chumash\, O’odham)\, Cristina Gonzales (Chumash)\, Terria Smith (Cahuilla)\, Cindi Alvitre (Tongva)\, Nicole Myers-Lim (Pomo)\, and Michelle Lee (Pit River\, Cahuilla).

SUMMARY:Canoe Day in Wigi (Humboldt Bay)
