When people learn that foraging for uni is not only a delicacy, it also is helping the ocean come into balance... it gets a little hard not to want to eat it every day! Purple urchin are native to California, but their predator died off and so their population has exploded. As a result, the kelp and abalone are struggling. Urchin need a predator! By eating them, we are helping to restore balance..... join us in Oct or November for a life-changing adventure on the Sonoma Coast.

Coming up in just over a week, get your spot!

Traditional Foods, Medicines, and Songs of the Land

Speaker: Joe Salinas (Kashia Pomo Band of Indians)

For thousands of years, the coastal forests and valleys of Northern California have provided a rich bounty of life sustained by a deep relationship between the land and the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians. Join us for an enriching evening with Joe Salinas as he shares the living traditions of Northern California’s indigenous ecosystems.

In this talk, Joe will introduce us to his People's perspectives on foraging, highlighting wild foods and powerful medicines found right in our backyard. Beyond the practical uses of these plants, he will share the foundational connection between the landscape and his culture. You will be introduced to sacred songs and dances that honor the natural world, art forms that are not performance, but active expressions of gratitude and respect for the life that feeds and heals us.

Joe Salinas is a tribal member of the Kashia Stewarts Point, Band of Pomo Indians, and founder of the Sonoma County Pomo Dancers. Since 2007, he has led youth-focused cultural presentations that strengthen community, preserve tradition, and educate the future.
