Indigenous Wisdom
The Acjachemen have lived as stewards on the beach at San Onofre since the close of the last Ice Age. This event welcomes supportive people to unite with members of the Acjachemen Nation to create an urgent and evocative message about the dangers of nuclear waste.
The Event
The event will include a ceremonial procession to the beach led by Acjachemen Elders and tribal members, along with presentations from the Tribal Chairwoman, prominent Elders, youth speakers, cultural practitioners, and select world music performers, including Larisa Stow & Shakti Tribe, and traditional songs and ceremony. The event will culminate, at 1PM, with the creation of a large-scale human art installation.
Event is free. $15 parking.
