Mike Wilken- In class

On September 11th, 2013, Mike Wilken made a guest appearance in our VPA 311 class. It was very kind for him to come and lecture about the Native peoples of California. His attempt to preserve their traditions and educated others was very successful. I thought it was great he passed around an authentic basket that was hand woven by the Kumiai peoples. It was interesting to hear from a fellow classmate who shared how he shares the heritage of these Native people and his efforts to preserve their traditions.
