Calling all applicants for the Native Youth Ambassadors Through Theater program in June!
CIMCC will be hosting a "Tribal Youth Ambassadors" summer camp June 25 - 29th, 2012.
The youth will spend a week in "ambassadors" training at CIMCC where they will be trained in public speaking, storytelling, acting and tribal history and culture!
We will be asking participants to perform at the Wellsfargo Theater on October 24th, 2012, with storyteller Jacque Nunez. The youth will be part of Jacque's “Journey to the Past” storytelling performance. She has performed for audiences statewide and is adapting the performance for this area so that our local history and culture will be showcased. This is a great educational opportunity to share historically accurate and culturally sensitive information! The best part is that our youth will be the ones communicating it!
There is no cost to attend the NYATT program. The program will run Monday-Friday 10am to 3pm. A Family Night will be held Thursday evening. Participants must arrive with a lunch and snacks everyday.

THE CALIFORNIA INDIAN MUSEUM

PRESENTS:
Sanctity, Servitude, and Survival:
California Mission History, featuring lectures by Andrew Galvan and Vincent Medina.
Thursday May 10, 2012
Time: 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
5250 Aero Drive, Santa Rosa, CA 95403
The Spanish Mission era (1769–1833) is one of the most pivotal and challenging periods in California history. During this time, 21 missions were built in coastal locations from San Diego to Sonoma County. For California Indians, the Spanish Mission era was a time of great cultural upheaval. It marked the beginning of the forced separation of tribal people from their place-based cultural practices, established community structures, and indigenous languages. There was a precipitous decline in California tribal populations caused by diseases, starvation, and other conditions that occurred with abrupt changes in California Indian lifestyles. Join us in exploring this topic with a panel of California Indian educators. California Indian perspectives convey lessons about resiliency, adaptation, and cultural persistence in the face of catastrophic change. Additionally they provide insights into the lifelong endeavor and value of being connected to a place, and living in balance with one’s surroundings.

Re: Pomo Language Documentation Efforts
Dear Pomo Language Speakers,
Thank you for your recent participation in our Pomo language assessment survey. The information is currently being distributed to the community. Please let us know if you have not received a copy of the status report. The information collected in the survey has been invaluable and is helpful to our efforts to create Pomo language learning tools. Our next step in this process is to create hands on resources that can be shared with tribal youth and adult community members.
We held a Pomo Language youth summer camp last July. We hosted twenty tribal youth from various Pomo tribes. The youth were so excited to learn and picked up phrases and vocabulary very quickly. They spent a week interviewing elders and creating learning tools. They are eager to learn more! We are working to continue the camps and hope to generate pride and confidence in every Pomo child that comes through our doors.
We are contacting you with the hope that you will assist us in continuing these efforts. Our records indicate that in the CIMCC Pomo language survey, you identified yourself as a Pomo speaker. Like you, many of us feel that traditional language learning is a life time process. Regardless of whether you feel you know a few words or can carry on an extensive conversation, each contribution counts at this point in history because so much has been lost.
As a speaker, you could help us save the Pomo language for our children by participating in a few interview/recording sessions. We pay speakers up to $100 per hour to participate in documentation/recording sessions. We are also happy to cover any mileage or travel expenses roundtrip from your home to our facility in Santa Rosa or we can make arrangements to travel to you if preferred. You will be provided with copies of each of the recording sessions, and will have full access to the language-learning site and other resources generated from your contribution.
Please contact us if you are willing to participate. We will set up an orientation session and address any issues or concerns you have about the documentation process. Please contact me or my assistant, Scott Anderton at 707 579-3004 or
