Hello Tribal Members!

Please see the attached flyer for recruitment for the Southern Sierra Miwuk Cultural Residency program. We are looking for elders, tribal artists, and cultural practitioners to share cultural teaching and traditional arts, plant gathering and preparation, and stories. This is a big dream project so no ideas are off the table. An individual's residency can be open to the public or private to the tribal community.

Some ideas that have come to mind are:
Are there plant stories or plant names that can be shared?
Is there a traditional story about beavers?

Emily Dayhoff will be working on her own artist in residence project and am leaning towards doing a gathering journal workshop. Stay tuned for that announcement.

If you are interested in being an artist, please contact Clay River at river@mariposaartscouncil.org

Getting influenza (flu) can be serious for anyone, but for those living with chronic health conditions including diabetes, flu can have serious consequences. Even when chronic health conditions are well-managed, flu can worsen symptoms and can lead to complications.
