Mission Rd., San Marcos, CA 92069 I. Language: The Spirit of the Story can be conveyed through oral or written language traditions. Cultural identity is reflected in all aspects of culture, but is most rooted in traditional and to some degree in contemporary languages. How are our communities preserving, using and communicating their language heritage? Organizers: R. Bugbee (Luiseno) and D. Suarez (Jicarilla/Pueblo). II. History and Government: The Spirit of the Story is reflected in original California family and governance structures and institutions, as well as in the various governments of colonial invaders from Spaniards to the current populations of North Americans. In what ways have the people maintained and preserved traditions from ancient times to the present day? Organizers: Alumnus Joley De La Torre (Luiseno) and P. Dixon (Luiseno). III. Visual Arts and Music: The Spirit of the Story is captured, in its more subtle spiritual aspects, through visual and performance arts. How can these traditions be appropriately preserved and presented to communicate the integrity and richness of these ancient traditions? What are the effective and appropriate ways to integrate traditional arts with today's media technologies? Organizers: L. Locklear (Lumbee/Catawba) and A. Harris (Cherokee). IV. Archives, Records, and Museums: The Spirit of the Story lives within the minds and hearts of the People, especially the elders. A parallel record of evolving California traditions exists in tribal and nontribal records. How can the preservation, recovery, and repatriation of cultural resources and family histories contribute to today's communities? Organizers: L. Sisquoc (Chumash/Lusiseno) and J. Keller. V. Education and Youth: The Spirit of the Story of the future waits for today's California Indian families and communities to write it. How can we develop the tools needed by modern folks to bring positive learning environments to California Indian communities and our youth? What are effective technologies for bringing the ancient tellings and traditions to the community with appropriate security? Organizers: Tracy-Cook Lee and E. Hood (Luiseno/Shawnee). -- Andr� Cramblit: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operations Director Northern California Indian Development Council NCIDC (http://www.ncidc.org) is a non-profit that meets the development needs of American Indians and operates an art gallery featuring the art of California tribes (http://www.americanindianonline.com) COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY TO THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN INDIANS/NATIVE AMERICANS/ALASKAN NATIVES & HAWAIIAN ISLANDERS.
