DESCRIPTION:The City of Santa Cruz and the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History are 
 honored to welcome the Lummi Nation House of Tears Carvers on their journey 
 to D.C.\n\nDuring this event, the House of Tears Carvers will hold a 
 blessing for the 24-foot totem pole carved at the Lummi Nation from a 
 400-year-old red cedar. This is just one stop of many on their 5,000 mile 
 cross-country journey, evoking an urgent call to protect sacred lands and 
 waters of Indigenous people. The journey, called the Red Road to DC Totem 
 Pole Journey to Protect Sacred Sites, will culminate in Washington, 
 D.C.\n\nAs the pole travels it draws lines of connection — honoring, 
 uniting and empowering communities working to protect sacred places. It 
 carries the spirit of the lands it visits and the power and prayers of 
 communities along the way.\n\nIn this moment of self-reflection across the 
 United States and the acknowledgment of past and present injustices 
 inflicted on Native Peoples and lands without consent, the Lummi Nation 
 House of Tears Carvers invite all peoples to stand united with them to 
 protect sacred places, and fulfill ancestral and historic obligations to 
 the First Peoples of these lands and waters.\n\nThis community event will 
 take place in the City of Santa Cruz’s Tyrrell Park behind the Santa Cruz 
 Museum of Natural History. Please wear a mask and keep your distance when 
 possible. All are welcome.\n\nThis event will take place in the unceded 
 territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, 
 comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa 
 Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central 
 Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices 
 on these lands and heal from historical trauma.\n
