The Earth Witness Foundation, based in the San Jacinto Mountains, serves to provide both onsite and outreach education programs on sustainable ecology and Native American culture to Grades K-12 in Riverside County schools. The programs teach students about alternative resourcing for the future and about the rich culture and heritage of the indigenous peoples of the region.
The exhibit and performance will take place at the Quiet Creek Gallery on North Circle Drive on Saturday, February 4, from 3 -5pm. For more information about the event, please contact Christina Nordell at mearthhealing@aol.com.
