"I am honored to write on behalf of Jacque Nunez, an extraordinary and gifted woman. Jacque's cultural presentations throughout California are of prime importance in understanding the legendary, historical, and cultural contributions of her people and of all California Indian Peoples. Without Culture Bearers like Jacque, people would not know about California Indian cultures and history."
- Georgiana Valoyce Sanchez/American Indian Studies - Californa State University, Long Beach
"On November 5th Mrs. Nuñez and her associates presented an assembly to the students of San Juan Elementary School. This assembly was, by far, one of the finest assemblies I have seen.The assembly provided students with an understanding of the contributions of Native Americans as a whole and the Juaneño tribe of Orange County specifically. The presentation was academically sound, content rich, and culturally sensitive."
