Vacaville: Native American Heritage Day at the Adobe
October 5 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
Meet author Richard Burrill who has published seven books on Ishi, the last surviving member of the California Native American Yahi tribe. Ishi was discovered in 1911 in Oroville, CA and was taken to UC Berkeley where anthropologists studied him. Burrill’s newest book: Unvanquished: Ishi’s Story of Survival, Resilience, and Forgiveness” details those first four months of Ishi’s life in San Francisco from Sept. 4, 1911, to Dec. 31, 1911.
The Cache Creek Conservancy was founded in 1996 with a mission to restore, preserve and protect the Cache Creek watershed. They operate from and manage the Jan T. Lowrey Cache Creek Nature Preserve in Woodland, CA. The Tending and Gathering Garden (TGG) is a collaborative effort between the Native American community and the Conservancy to demonstrate traditional land and plant management practices of California’s native people. Situated on 3-acres in the Cache Creek Nature Preserve, the TGG is home to culturally significant native plants found within the Cache Creek watershed. Visit the Conservancy’s booth and learn about the important work they do.
