History of Native American DayIn 1939, California Governor Culbert Olson proclaimed October 1 as California Indian Day.

In 1968, California Tribal Leaders and Governor Ronald Reagan declared the fourth Friday of September as American Indian Day in California, as does each succeeding governor through 1998.

In 1998, the California State Assembly enacted legislation (AB 1953) to establish Native Amer-ican Day as an official state holiday and it was signed into law by Governor Pete Wilson on September 21, 1998.

California State Tribal LiaisonsThe State Tribal Liaisons of California are representative of California’s agencies, departments, and commissions that serve within the state in official and unofficial capacities.

They help serve and support the Native American community in areas such as health, transportation, employment, education, economic devel-opment, law enforcement, child welfare, and environment.

Dear Community,

On behalf of the California State Tribal Liaisons, we are proud to partner with our host nation sponsor, Central California Tribal Chairpersons’ Association, in the coordination and planning of the 49th Annual California Native American Day celebration. The theme we honor is “Education: Building Tomorrow through Teachings Today.” The theme of the event was selected to highlight the im-portance of education in Native American communities. To commemorate the event, we have invited Tribal cultural practitioners, Traditional dancers, and Tribal leaders to demonstrate the theme through presentations, demonstrations, and cultural sharing.

We are also very excited to honor the 40th Anniversary of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). Please take some time to visit the exhibits dedicat-ed to the past 40 years of accomplishments of the NAHC at the Governor’s Wall and in the Rotunda on the second floor located in the State Capitol.

The celebration of Native American Day is made possible through the support of community volunteers, the commitment from our State government, our legis-lative sponsors Assembly Member Frank Bigelow and Senator Tom Berryhill and their staff, and the direction and support of California’s Tribal Leadership.

As Co-Chairs of 2016 Native American Day, we would like to offer our support, respect, and admiration for our Tribal Elders, Tribal Leaders, members of the California State government, and each and every one of you participating in this celebration. For these past 49 years, Native American organizations and State agencies have participated in this event which honors the valuable historic and cultural contributions made by Native Americans in California. Thank you for taking the time to be here and allowing us to continue this tradition of honor and recognition. Please find a relaxing spot in the shade, and enjoy the celebration!

Welcome

Featured Poster Artist

The name of this particular piece is called, Moving Forward. I feel that it’s important to have our younger gener-ations move forward while maintaining our cultural heritage. The artwork presents a Me-Wuk traditional dancer moving forward from the background, leaving the past behind but bringing the Native American culture forward with upcoming generations. Education is essential to the younger generations in achieving success, not only for them-selves but for their culture.

Dylan Day is a tribal and council member of The Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians. Dylan has interned for the graphic department at Black Oak Casino for three years. He is now at-tending The Art Institutes of California, Orange County where he is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Graphic and Web Design. Dylan recognizes that the Native American artwork is not being used enough through modern graphic design. With his recognition, he incorporates his Me-Wuk culture in a majority of his projects.
