Corrina Gould of Sogorea Te’ Land Trust will lead a conversation with Jordan Reyes and Corine Pearce of Tribal EcoRestoration Alliance. The discussion will illuminate how fire is an essential component of Native lifeways\, affirms tribal sovereignty\, and is a critical element for healthy California ecosystems. Learn what it means to be a steward of the land and how Native fire practitioners are increasing their efforts to build a more sustainable future with fire in California. \n\n\n\nThis program is a part of our exhibition programming for Good Fire: Tending Native Lands\, on view through May 31. \n\n\n\n\nGeneral TICKETS\n\n\n\nMEMBER TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Corrina Gould\n\n\n\nCorrina Gould (Tribal Chair for the Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation) was born and raised in the village of Huichin\, now known as Oakland\, CA. She is the Co-Founder and Lead Organizer for Indian People Organizing for Change\, a small Native-run organization\, and the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust\, an urban Indigenous women-led organization within her ancestral territory. Through the practices of rematriation\, cultural revitalization\, and land restoration\, the Land Trust calls on Native and non-Native peoples to heal and transform legacies of colonization\, genocide\, and to do the work our ancestors and future generations are calling us to do. \n\n\n\nAbout Jordan Reyes\n\n\n\nJordan Reyes (Pomo/Lake Miwok/Yuki/Little Lake/Wailak) is a land steward with a background in Tribal government serving in Tribal Historic Preservation\, Tribal Gaming Regulatory Commission\, Tribal Gaming Operations\, and Tribal Council. Jordan currently serves as the Field Coordinator with the Tribal EcoRestoration Alliance and is a leader in his Tribal community with land stewardship and reintroducing cultural fire practices. He sees fire as medicine\, a way to heal intergenerational separation\, and a way to ensure the safe passage of knowledge. Serving the people and Tribal sovereignty is the main focus of his passion\, to heal the lands and human beings\, and maintaining a relationship of reciprocity between the two.  \n\n\n\nAbout Corine Pearce\n\n\n\nCorine Pearce (Redwood Valley Little River Band of Pomo)‘s weaving heals and restores both the land and the people. She weaves to connect the future generations to a living cultural identity and to remind them they will also face struggles and triumphs\, and they will also carry the spirit of our ancestors. Corine creates all types of basketry: cradle baskets—from miniatures that would fit on a dime\, to doll size\, to full-size serviceable cradles; twine baskets using six different twining techniques—from simple rough work baskets to fine closed twine baskets; and feather/beaded/plain coil baskets using two separate techniques that are specific to Mendocino\, Sonoma\, and Lake County Pomo peoples.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility\n\n\n\nOakland Museum of California (OMCA) is committed to providing programs that are accessible\, welcoming\, and inclusive of our community.
