The Peña Adobe Historical Society will celebrate Native American Heritage on Saturday, October 5th from 11am – 2pm. Meet author Richard Burrill who has published seven books on Ishi, the last surviving member of the California Native American Yahi tribe. Burrill’s newest book “Unvanquished: Ishi’s Story of Survival, Resilience, and Forgiveness” details those first four months of Ishi’s life in San Francisco from Sept. 4, 1911, to Dec. 31, 1911.
Come to the Peña Adobe and make a corn husk doll, make a shell necklace on a Native American pump drill and learn about the Native Americans who lived here long before the Vacas and Peñas arrived in 1841 from the New Mexico Territory.
The Peña Adobe Regional Park is located off I-80, left of the Lagoon Valley Park entrance. This event is free! For questions call (707) 447-0518 or e-mail us at penaadobe@gmail.com.
