SUMMARY:Naturalist Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Naturalist Book Club\n  \nJoin us as we discuss Stephen Kellart’s captivating book- Birthright: People and Nature in the Modern World. \nAn eloquent explanation of why human beings need to connect with nature and what is lost when they are disconnected from the natural world \nHuman health and well-being are inextricably linked to nature; our connection to the natural world is part of our biological inheritance. In this engaging book\, a pioneer in the field of biophilia—the study of human beings’ inherent affinity for nature—sets forth the first full account of nature’s powerful influence on the quality of our lives. Stephen Kellert asserts that our capacities to think\, feel\, communicate\, create\, and find meaning in life all depend upon our relationship to nature. And yet our increasing disconnection and alienation from the natural world reflect how seriously we have undervalued its important role in our lives…Kellert’s moving book provides exactly what is needed now: a fresh understanding of how much our essential humanity relies on being a part of the natural world. \nJoin us for a lively discussion of this fascinating book. \n  \nDate: September 29th  \nTime: 7:00pm – 8:00pm \nLocation: China Camp Village Museum\, China Camp State Park \n  \nSpace is limited and reservations are required. \nTo reserve\, send email to: \nchinacamp.programs@gmail.com or call (415) 456-0766. \nInclude your name\, the number of seats you need\, and your phone #. \nWe will reply to confirm your reservation. \nCancellation announcements will be posted on the FOCC website homepage.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Miwok Walk
DESCRIPTION:Oct 19th \nHonoring Native Californians: \nMiwok Life at China Camp\nJohn Tayaba of the Miwok tribe performs with other dancers during the annual Indigenous People’s Thanksgiving Sunrise Ceremony on Alcaraz Island. 2007. AP Photo/Craig Young\n  \nThis walk is a continuation of a previous Miwok program from August. eIndigenous coastal Miwok people have lived and thrived in the China Camp area for over 5000 years. Before Spanish settlers forced the native population off of their land and into missions\, the Miwok people flourished due to an abundance of food and natural materials from the oak woodland forest and the coastal bay shoreline. It is estimated that there were over several thousand Coastal Miwok in the North Bay at the time of the Spanish arrival in 1769. Most of this population was dispersed within 100 years. Many died of European diseases. Miwok people still live in the Bay Area today\, with the largest group at Graton Rancheria in Sonoma County. Join naturalist Jerry Coe for an educational walk as he discusses the pre-colonial settlements of the coastal Miwok people at China Camp. He will cover how they lived\, what they wore and ate\, what they used for medicine\, and some of their common cultural traditions and folklore.  \n  \n Date: October 19th \nTime: 10am-noon  \nLocation:  Backranch Meadows Entrance Gate. \n  \nThis event is free. Space is limited and reservations are required. \nTo reserve\, send email to: \nchinacamp.programs@gmail.com or call (415) 456-0766. \nInclude your name\, the number of seats you need\, and your phone #. \nWe will reply to confirm your reservation. \nCancellation announcements will be posted on the FOCC website homepage.
