A new education program called Pathmakers is offering makerspace programming for native and non-native youth in grades K-12 throughout Humboldt County. Pathmakers activities will help all students, native and non-native, learn about the history, culture, and technologies of the tribes in the region, from pre-colonization to today. The project team is working with K-12 students, college students, parents, teachers, tribal members, and regional native cultural and education experts to develop the programming. The curriculum will strive to bridge the gap between traditional Native technologies and maker activities using today's technologies. Traditional Native technologies employed sophisticated techniques that are still in use today. One example is the Yurok plank house, which employed many of the same "passive solar" design techniques that are now frequently, and increasingly, used by builders today. The 4-year program was developed by the Blue Lake Rancheria, the Humboldt County Office of Education, and the Northern Humboldt Union High School District.

He will visit with Elder Big John Jerome, once an avid trapper and one of the only Elders in town who still prepares Beaver the traditional way. He will also visit with local trapper Doug Esagok, who still traps Beaver for its meat and pelts. He will join them for a meal of Beaver tail, the preferred cut of the Beaver's meat, and learn how this food source has complimented the Inuvialuit's diet throughout their centuries on the Delta. Doug will take Rich out to the estruaries of the MacKenzie River, to learn the process involved in trapping the Beaver, which requires a solid understanding of the animal's habits; and lots of patience. Big John and Doug will teach Rich about the history and relevance of Beaver to the Inuvialuit of the Beaufort Delta and the various ways this animal is harvested and prepared. With his culinary imagination sparked by the flavours found along the Delta, Rich brings his new learnings to the firepit, inspired to create some new and exciting Beaver dishes for everyone to enjoy, including the viewers at home.

Waila music comes from the Tohono O'odham, the native people of the Sonoran desert and the largest Indian tribe of southern Arizona. Waila (pronounced why-la) is an O'odham word that comes from the Spanish word "baile," which means "to dance." There are no words to waila music -- it is only instrumental, and is played on a button accordion, alto saxophone, electric six-string and bass guitars, and drums. Waila began from the music of early fiddle bands that adapted European and Mexican tunes heard in northern Sonora. The dances performed in the waila tradition are the waila (which is similar to a polka), the chote (based on a folk dance from Scotland or Germany), and the mazurka (based on a Polish folk dance). Regardless of the beat, all waila dances are performed while moving around the floor in a counterclockwise direction.

The Turtle Bay Exploration Park and McConnell Gardens have become a gathering place for the North State community. This complex along with the Calatrava Sundial Bridge and Sacramento River trails draws visitors from all over the world. The far northern communities of California have historically been a difficult population to reach. The past history of settlements in these rugged territories has centered on mining, logging and ranching. In addition, Native Americans traditionally living in these areas were forced to move into more distant and isolated lands. The result created a culture of rugged, independent individuals that pride themselves on a strong sense of self-reliance. The vast majorities of these Native people remain unrecognized, so many Native people remain isolated and do not trust outside direction.
