Info:
A six-week Saturday series at Peralta Hacienda in Oakland's Fruitvale will take you-and your kids-on a journey through California's Native American history and lifeways. It will take place March 7 through April 18 (with one Saturday off for Easter weekend) from 230-530. All events are free and wheelchair accessible.
Six experts will stage hands-on activities and unfold the story of the peoples who first lived in the territory we now call "California," as well as peoples from all over the US who now live in Fruitvale.
For adults, the series will provide information and many perspectives. For kids, every session in the series features exciting and educational hands-on activities that bring to life this heritage.
Come to the second hands-on history event and learn about the languages and life ways of Native Americans in California, with delightful kids activities inside and out, given by Juliane Monroe, History and Art volunteer Docent, Oakland Museum and Peralta Hacienda Board Member.
This workshop will supplement and build on the current California history curriculum for the 3rd and 4th grades. This is the only time issues pertaining to the California Native American are taught! For parents, if you did not go to primary school in California this could all be new for you!
This conversation will use reproduction of works of art that can be seen in the Oakland Museum of California, hands on objects that represent California Native American practices (hunting, food gathering and preparation, music).
