Journey back in time and view a California Indian Village - The Village of Acjachamai. See on stage their dwelling a kiitcha, tribal women, basket weaving and cooking their wi'wish soup (acorn soup). You will be enchanted by the storyteller Jacque Nunez, an Acjachemen descendant (Southern California Indian). She will teach you songs and share her culture in a most delightful way.

The children will be captivated by all the indigenous instruments and will have the chance to observe the beauty of the Intertribal Pow Wow dancers. Children will walk away with an awareness of taking care of Mother Earth and getting in touch with their own unique heritage. This show will let you become a part of the past and realize the significance of many tomorrows to come!

Quote:

"Having attended a full-length performance of "Journeys to the Past" at the Kavli Performing Arts Center, I can attest that Jacque has managed to transform her school assembly show into an impressive full stage production. This large-scale performance presents the culture and history of the Acjachemen Nation in an entertaining and meaningful way. Jacque's great enthusiasm and wonderful rapport with children involve the audience in a greater appreciation of cultural diversity, while teaching them Orange County's history."
