shared from Bird Singers of the southern California desert, Chumash
songs
of the ocean, Pomo/Coast Miwok of northern California foothills and
rugged
coastline, and music from the far northern Redwood forests of Humboldt
County.  Sunday, November 7 is an entire day of storytelling
performances
by our featured storytellers with two new programs "Honored Elders,"
storytellers with life long experience, and "Emerging Voices," those
new
to
the public arena.  Vendors of California Indian artists, cultural
organizations, and publishers of California Indian books and Native
food

booths will be present both days.

The symposium and festival will be held in the state-of-the-art Smith

again

for our planet through feeling our native people are alive and well."
