Join Us for a Community Celebration of California Native American DayEureka City Schools and the Parent Advisory Committee for Indian Education warmly invite you to a special community event in celebration of California Native American Day. This evening will feature a series of meaningful cultural presentations, Indian tacos, Indigenous vendors, performances, and opportunities for community connection.
The event will begin with a heartfelt welcome to all attendees, followed by an opening prayer. Afterward, we will honor the land of the Wiyot Tribe through a Land Acknowledgment presented by students, accompanied by a special song.
We are thrilled to feature Marnie Atkins, who will share her insights and reflections on Native American heritage. Following Marnie’s presentation, we will introduce Sage Romero, a renowned traditional hoop dancer, who will perform and speak about his cultural artistry and traditions.
The evening will continue with a powerful performance by Chubby Cree, an international musical performer, joined by our local Kibby family. Their performance, featuring singing, drumming, and dancing, promises to be an unforgettable experience.
Throughout the event, we will have announcements and opportunities for photo ops, including a Dutch raffle, and we will close the evening with a final prayer.
After the formal program, attendees are invited to a Meet & Greet session with Sage Romero, Chubby Cree, and the Kibby family, where you can take photos and engage with the performers.
