Bear River Band Rohnerville Dear Tribal Community and Friends:

Rancheria On behalf of Northern California Tribal Chairmen’s Association, it is my honor to welcome you to the 51st Annual California Native American Day. This annual celebration is an opportunity to honor California Native American cultures and recognize the important partnerships between the State of California and Tribal governments. We are honored that Native American Day has become the premier event celebrating Native American history, contributions, and achievements in California.

Elk Valley Rancheria This year’s theme, “Looking Toward the Future: Tribal-State Relationships,” was selected to Hoopa Valley Tribe honor the tremendous progress that has been made to strengthen the government-to-government relationship between State and Tribal governments and to also recognize the advancement of this partnerships that is to come. All our citizens benefit when State and Tribal governments come together in the spirit of respect and cooperation to build a better future for California.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the legislative sponsors for this event, Senator Mike McGuire and Assemblymember Jim Wood, as well as their staff, for their continued support of Native American Day. We would also like to extend our gratitude to

Karuk Tribe Assemblymember Todd Gloria and his staff for sponsoring the Legislative Floor Session recognition of California Native American Day. We look forward to continuing to cultivate the important partnership between the State and Tribal governments with one united voice. Finally, we would like to thank our fellow Tribal leaders, Tribal elders, the Native American Day planning committee, volunteers, and all participating agencies and organizations for your support and hard work to make this the largest California Native American Day celebration in the history of the event. We look forward to this event continuing to grow and thrive in the future.

Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation Trinidad Rancheria Thank you all for coming today and we hope that everyone has a wonderful day learning more about Tribal communities throughout California!

6 Masters of Ceremonies HONORABLE MICHAEL HUNTER, CHAIRMAN COYOTE VALLEY BAND OF POMO INDIANS

Mr. Hunter is currently the Tribal Chairman of the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians, the Chairman of the Coyote Valley Economic Development Corporation (CEDCO), and the Executive Director of I Coyote Valley Retail Enterprise (CVRE). As Tribal Chairman and leader of the Tribe’s business enterprises, Mr. Hunter is responsible for developing and overseeing the social and economic strategy and progression of the Tribe. Mr. Hunter’s Tribal Administration has spearheaded various grants, projects and programs in support of this strategy. One of the most important accomplishments achieved by Mr. Hunter’s Administration is the recent award of a $1.9 million USDA Water Well Grant. The grant furthers the Tribe’s self-sufficiency and may eventually help the Tribe gain its independence from the diminishing County Water District supply. Once the Tribe’s new water source is paired with a new wastewater treatment system, the Tribe will eventually be able to support additional housing for members and further new economic opportunities. As Tribal Chairman, Mr. Hunter is committed to the Tribe’s cultural, social and economic growth.

HONORABLE TISHMALL TURNER, VICE-CHAIRWOMAN RINCON BAND OF LUISEÑO INDIANS

Tishmall Turner currently serves on the Rincon Tribal Council as Vice Chairwoman. As an ambassador working to bring recognition and respect for the tribes within the non-Indian community, she has developed important relationships in the North County’s educational, medical and social services communities that serve the interests of the Rincon Band. Vice Chairwoman Turner has distinguished herself as a warrior for education and has served as the first full-time California Indian Tribal Liaison in the California State University system since 2007. As Tribal Liaison for California State University San Marcos, she provides guidance to the university president, other campus administrators, and faculty to improve institutional relationships with

California Tribal communities. In addition to her responsibilities as a liaison, she regularly mentors American Indian students and conducts outreach to recruit and educate Tribal youth about higher education.

Keynote Speaker

HONORABLE RUSSELL “BUSTER” ATTEBERY, CHAIRMAN, KARUK TRIBE

Chairman Russell “Buster” Attebery has served as Tribal Chairman of the Karuk Tribe of California since 2012. Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. appointed Chairman Attebery to the California Native American Heritage Commission in 2014. He was a teacher and athletic director at Happy Camp High School until 2012. Chairman Attebery is also a member of the American Professional Baseball Association.

7 Cultural Sharing TULE RIVER COLOR GUARD The Tule River Native Veterans Post 1987, formerly known as the Tule River AMVETS (American Veterans) Post 1988, was the first all-Native American post in the Unites States. Established and recognized in 1987, the Tule River AMVETS charter had 12 members. In 1988, the post was sponsored and installed by the Tulare Post 56, the largest AMVETS post in the nationwide veteran’s organization with over 2,000 members.

SHINGLE SPRINGS BAND OF MIWOK INDIANS The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians is a federally-recognized Tribe located in El Dorado County, California. The members of the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians are descendants of the Miwok and Southern “Nisenan” Indians who thrived in California’s fertile Central Valley for thousands of years before contact with Europeans. The Rancheria has changed significantly from its humble beginnings and today is a bustling, vibrant community.

The Tribe is committed to maintaining its culture for future generations. The Tribe’s dance group is an example of that, as they are active in their community. Their cultural dance group will be performing traditional Miwok dances and songs so that the event grounds are properly blessed by a local tribe before the day begins. The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok represents one of the many local tribes with ancestral ties to the .

KARUK YOUTH DANCERS The Karuk Youth Dancers represent the Karuk Tribe from far northern California. The Karuk Arrarras, or upriver people, inhabit an aboriginal territory along the Klamath and Salmon Rivers. The Tribe currently has 3,746 enrolled tribal members and 4,668 enrolled descendants. The Tribe’s mission is to promote the general welfare of all Karuk people, to establish equality and justice for our tribe, to restore and preserve tribal traditions, customs, language and ancestral rights, and to secure the power to exercise the inherent rights of self-governance.

The Karuk Youth Dancers will be sharing a Brush Dance demonstration. A Brush Dance is a ceremony done to heal or bless a child. It is a traditional ceremony held along the banks of the Klamath River at traditional village sites in Karuk territory every summer.

The Karuk Youth Dancers group started sharing culture about 11 years ago to not only to teach traditions to tribal youth, but to also bring awareness to viewers that we as Indians are still here and are not just in history books.

KWATSAN PIPA (Quechan People) The Quechans (Kwatsans), meaning “descending from water,” are currently located on a portion of their ancestral lands predominantly in Fort Yuma, CA, Yuma, AZ, and Los Algodones, .

The Kwatsans have several different sets of traditional songs; among them are the “Lightning Songs,” which are deemed one of the most powerful sets of songs. These songs were used in warfare for protection and strength, as Lightning singers were often assigned to travel with Quechan Warriors into battle.

The Kwatsans also still sing “Bird Songs,” which are used for social gatherings and for tribal members as they move on to the afterlife in their last ceremonial rites. The songs explain migration, the life of their people, and also tell what’s occurring during the last ceremonial rites as the person is preparing spiritually to leave this earth.

The last set of songs that will be shared is the “Pipa Songs,” meaning “people” songs. Pipa songs are sung with a tin can or turtle rattle. This set of songs tells of newer times and the changes and events that have taken place for our people. They speak about turmoil and encounters with others. These songs are sung for social gatherings and for last ceremonial rites.

The Traditional Singers carry on and continue the various cycle of songs. Collectively, our songs tell the stories of our ancestral lands from California, Arizona, , and Baja, and our present homeland today. They teach us about our history, origin, and the traveled paths and lessons learned as told by the original dreamer of the songs and Wonder Boy as stated in our creation story. Traditional Singers: Zion White, Jason Coyote, Jasper Cornejo, Alfred Tatro, and Devin Melancon. Dancers: Claudette White, Dorinda Ironcloud, Brina Ironcloud, Celise Cornejo, Faye Short, Rubi Cornejo, Julie Ortega, Ila Silva, Darnella Melancon, Paris Hicks, and Amaya Melancon.

CHUMASH INTERTRIBAL SINGERS The Chumash Intertribal Singers is composed of Chumash Indians from Santa Ynez, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and San Fernando. The group was formed in 2007 with permission from our tribal elders. We bring our songs from our past to the present for our future. Kiyaqinaliyuw (We are grateful to you all).

K’IWINYA’N-YA:N SINGERS This group of Hupa, Yurok, and Karuk people are from far northern California. K’iwinya’n-ya:n literally translates to “acorn eater,” but it is the Hupa word for people because traditionally we are all acorn eaters. This group will be sharing Flower Dance songs, which are sung for a coming-of-age ceremony symbolizing a girl’s transformation to womanhood. The Trinity River runs through the Hoopa Valley Reservation and the Klamath River runs through the Karuk’s ancestral lands and the Yurok Reservation. The ceremonies take place along the rivers at traditional village sites and are an essential part of the Tribes’ cultural heritage.

8 Capitol Exhibits We invite you to visit the California State Capitol display honoring the 51st Annual California Native American Day. Displays are featured in two locations inside the California State Capitol: the Governor’s Annex Wall and the Capitol Rotunda.

First Floor: Governor’s Annex Wall

The display outside of the Governor’s Office was created, on the 100th Anniversary of the Great War, by the California Department of Veterans Affairs to honor the California Native who served during World War I. The display features stories of soldiers who fought and a memorial for those who did not return home.

Second Floor: Rotunda Display

The display in the second-floor rotunda is a community-created exhibit celebrating the theme of this year’s event, “Looking Toward the Future: Tribal-State Relationships.” It contains four panels: A map depicting traditional Tribal territories across present-day California; a current map of the Tribal trust lands presently found in California; California Native American youth sharing their thoughts on what it means to be a California Native American today; and Tribal and State leaders discussing the importance of Tribal-State relationships. Surrounding the panels are various pieces of Native American basketry and art, as well as a statue created to honor California Native American Veterans, created by Ruben Chato.

The most prominent symbol on the pin is the grizzly bear paw print, a symbol of strength and unyielding resistance. The bear embodies the powerful surge of courage that every warrior taps into during a time of need. The paw almost touches a single star, the North Star, the center of the cosmos and a symbol of bravery.

California’s giant sequoia grows prominently within a sacred circle representing the elder spirit of a veteran, gathering strength from a supportive community. The giant sequoia is deep-rooted in Earth Mother, representing the progress CalVet has made since its inception in 1946. We work to honor and serve veterans and their families by connecting them with the benefits and support they have earned by virtue of having worn the nation’s uniform. Each native symbol rests on the medicine wheel, four sacred colors of healing, embodying the transition from warrior to veteran. Lastly, the field of blue wrapped around the embossed lettering represents the confidence, wisdom, and peace veterans have found in life after conflict. Honored Elders Cultural Gift Each year the NAD committee designs and creates an Honored Elders Cultural gift. This year we harvested a collection of California Native plants, herbs, and native mountain tea from Kern Valley. A decorative mason jar decorated with tribal prints on suede leather are filled with these plants, herbs, and tea will be given to our Honored Elders. The gift is reflective of our Mother Earth and all that she provides. Traditional uses of herbs include healing, cooking, teas, ceremonies, and other uses. Our Elders have taught us the old ways of traditional living. Looking towards the future, we hope that our younger Native people also learn and understand traditional uses of our native plants, herbs, and the environment.

Featured Poster Artist

LYN RISLING

Lyn Risling has been interested in art from an early age with influences from artists on both sides of her family. Her mother and grandmother were both illustrators and painters.

Lyn’s art is strongly connected to the cultures of her paternal grandfather and grandmother of the Karuk, Yurok, and Hupa peoples of the Klamath and Trinity Rivers in Northern California. As descendants of ceremonial and cultural leaders, family members on her father’s side have long been involved in traditional tribal arts, including basket weaving and ceremonial regalia, as well as more contemporary art forms.

Lyn has participated in her Native culture for many years. As an adult she began to create traditional regalia, such as her daughter’s ceremonial dress. She has been an active participant in the renewal of tribal ceremonies and traditions. In the 1990’s Lyn and her partner, Julian Lang, initiated the return of the Karuk girls’ puberty ceremony that had been dormant for over 100 years.

Lyn received a woman’s “One Eleven” chin tattoo several years ago, a tradition that had almost died out. In talking about it she says, “I received my tattoo in honor of my female ancestors. I feel it is also a deep commitment and responsibility to my culture.”

Lyn received a national Community Spirit Award in 2004 from the First Peoples Fund for her artwork and commitment to her Native culture and community. She had her first solo show in 2005 at the Carl Gorman Museum Gallery at the University of California, Davis.

Since then, Lyn left a full-time job at Humboldt State University to dedicate more of her time to art, culture, and her grandchildren. She has been creating and showing her work mostly at local galleries in Humboldt County and in other parts of the state. Lyn has worked with Native youth, teaching culture through traditional and contemporary art forms. She has been awarded grants to support her work with Native youth in creating mural panels of local Native culture. She has also received support for other community art projects and her own work.

Lyn received a BA in Art from University of California, Davis and a teaching credential and Master’s Degree from Humboldt State University, Arcata, California.

18 In Remembrance

G. DAVID SINGLETON May 29, 1935 – September 7, 2018

It is with great sorrow that the Native American Heritage Commission marks the passing of our friend and colleague G. David Singleton. Dave was at the forefront of many of this agency’s most heated battles to protect Native American sacred sites and cultural resources. Dave worked tirelessly to educate and counsel tribes, developers, archaeologists, and others about California’s laws protecting Native American sacred sites and cultural resources. He was unafraid to take on opponents with more resources to enforce this agency’s laws protecting what is left of California’s Native American sacred sites and cultural resources, and he fought for these sites and resources while maintaining his grace, kindness, and humility. He was beloved by his colleagues and by the many California Native American tribes that benefited from his courage, wisdom, and tenacity. Dave’s unwavering commitment to the work of this agency is a legacy we strive to continue, and he will be sorely missed.

On behalf of the Commissioners and staff of the Native American Heritage Commission with deepest sympathy and respect,

Christina Snider Executive Secretary and Tribal Advisor to Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr.
