Unauthorized event to draw thousands to California forest next month Local officials and tribal organizations near Northern California's Plumas National Forest are preparing for the worst.

Chief Caleen Sisk to Kumu Pua Case:
We are comrades and sisters lead by Mother Earth…congratulations Pua, I love all that you stand for.

Repost
We are excited to announce that Pua Case will receive the NCORE Suzan Shown Harjo Advocate for Systemic Social Justice Award!
Pua Case, born and raised on the Island of Hawaiʻi, has dedicated her life to advocating for the rights and cultural heritage of the native peoples of Hawaiʻi. With a deep connection to the land and a profound commitment to Aloha ʻĀina, Pua Case is leery to accept any sort of recognition for her work. A self-described “alliance and bridge builder” and an educator by trade, Case is determined to share Hawaiian culture, customs, and roots with the world.
Case spent 20 years teaching middle school social studies, focusing on Hawaiian history, a chapter often glossed over in traditional American history textbooks. As a Kumu Hula, she teaches Native rituals, dance, prayer, and chant. A fierce and lifelong advocate committed to keeping Native Hawaiian customs and language alive, Case is best known for her work with the Mauna Kea movement.
