June 11 Amah-Ka-Tura: First Nation Performance at Felton Library at 1:00 pm
Santa Cruz Public Libraries hosts Patrick Orozco and Amah-ka-tura, a First Nation performance that includes language, storytelling, musical instruments, dancing, singhing, traditional dress, and other features of the Ohlone culture.
From the event description:
Patrick Orozco began eighteen years ago sharing the knowledge of his people with school children. In his presentations to the schools, he describes our land as it used to be and tells about the European contact period from the Indian perspective. He brings myths and legends from his culture alive by singing songs from the Ohlone tradition. He wears regalia and plays instruments he has made himself based on authentic descriptions and using traditional materials. He encourages the children to participate in the singing and dancing with his group and conveys to them Indian attitudes of respect and love for the natural world.
