Congrats to the Sue Meg State Park for their new signs. Located on ancestral Yurok land in northern California, the park returned to the original Yurok name. The main sign artist is Alme Allen and my brother Skip Lowry is the cultural interpreter at the park. #statepark #native

Excited to share our newest video installment. Steve Saffold, coastal #Chumash descendant and flintknapper/primitive artist, shows us how the Chumash traditionally made shell beads.

It's not easy being green - unless you're a Baja California treefrog!

The only frog native to Channel Islands, these hoppers can change color based on air temperature and humidity, reducing the likelihood that they will become a meal for predators.

Alan Salazar, a Chumash and Tatavium elder, summoned the ancestors at the beginning of the wildlife crossing ceremony. Explains why I smelled burning sage.

Settler colonialism is still happening, earth day for me means give the land back to Indigenous people who protect the land and support it. Settler colonialism seeks to exploit the land through capitalism and displacement of Indigenous people.
