The Lanterman House celebrates the native landscape of the Crescenta Cañada Valley with this family-friendly outside event. 

An opening Land Acknowledgment provided by Tina Calderon, Culture Bearer of Gabrielino Tongva and Chumash descent at 1:30pm.  The Land Acknowledgment will recognize the Gabrielino Tongva people as the traditional stewards of the Crescenta Cañada Valley and affirm their enduring relationship with the land.

Activities at the event will include a Native American flute performance by Juan Castillo (1:30pm and 3pm), food samples made from native plants, and a craft table where visitors can make ornaments out of locally-grown white sage.  Kat High of Kidiwische Connections will teach traditional Native American games to visitors. 

Tours of the Lanterman House will be free that day to small groups (facemasks required) and will include a stop at the Lanterman House Native Plant garden. 

The native landscape theme will be supported with exhibitor tables from several community partners, including the Arroyo & Foothills Conservancy, the Arroyo Seco Foundation, the La Canada Flintridge Trails Council, the Pasadena Audubon Society, and the Theodore Payne Foundation. Neshkunikat Native American Elder Artists and Hahamongna Native Plants Nursery will also offer items for sale.

We request that all our visitors wear masks, out of respect for our youngest visitors.

Kat High, Founder of Kidiwische Connections
