(EXETER, CA) - Go Native: A Native American Celebration, was held May 27 at Kaweah Oaks Preserve near Exeter. In addition to CACHE, Sequoia Riverlands Trust and California Indian Basketweavers Association were among the supporting organizations. It was a day of drumming and crafts demonstrations with opportunities for hands-on making and Native American foods, all part of the annual event that draws attendees from all cultures. Native artisans came from throughout the San Joaquin Valley and Southern Sierra Nevada to share their culture and remind us that our Native American tribes are still here and thriving. •
