Nuui Cunni Heritage Days - The Sequoia Heritage staff joined with the Kern River Paiute Native American Council in the Nuui Cunni Heritage Days. Mark Howe, Kern River Ranger District Archaeologist displayed heritage resource artifacts and gave multiple presentations to third grade students from local schools. Throughout the day over 200 students participated. Patricia Henry, Native American Culture Center Director, and her staff created several enriching displays and shared Native American traditional practices. Through the generosity of the inter-tribal participants and volunteers, students were provided a rich cultural experience! The days event provided the students with a lasting outdoor educational experience.
