March, 2014             Native American Mascots

 

Let me begin by saying that the fact I even have to write an article concerning Native American Mascots is a shame.  These racist images and names offensive to American Indian people should have been long gone by now.  Yet here they are, still tomahawk-chopping us with racism in sports and media while they grin at us like that red-faced racist "chief wahoo,"who just moved into Templeton last year and is the reason that I have to explain what is wrong with Native American Mascots.

    

February, 2014         The Chumash Community Syuxtun Story Circle  

 

Over the last several years the Chumash Community lead by Ray Ward, Tomol caption and community leader, followed their spirits and accomplished a great public art story.  The is the Chumash story, one that all should enjoy. Our community has been living and caring for this land continuously for over 15,000 years.
