Diana Almendariz & Native American Acorn Traditions 11/4/23 4-630pm

[Alessa Johns]

Dear All,

Diana Almendariz, who has twice given fascinating presentations in our Seeds of Justice Speakers series, will be demonstrating Native American Acorn Traditions at International House in Davis, on November 4, 2023 at 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm

Here is their description of the event: 

"Join us for Acorn Traditions: A Welcoming with Diana Almendariz, the inaugural event of the new I-House World Tour series, presented in collaboration with the YoloSol Collective. The event will begin with an interactive family workshop, acorn stories, as Diana leads us through the process of grinding, sifting, and preparing acorn flour as the Wintun people have done for thousands of years. In the process, we will learn about the pasts, presents, and futures that are embedded in the lands and waters of the Yolo bioregion. 

This hands-on workshop will be followed by a community conversation on indigeneity and diaspora, where they converge, and where they diverge, and how to work toward right relations to the Wintun homeland. Alongside Diana, the other guest speakers on the panel will include Danny Manning and Stan Padilla."
