From the Yurok Tribe:

At 12pm on the Thursday, April 7, the Yurok Tribe, in partnership with California State Parks and Parks California, will be livestreaming a special event to celebrate the grand opening of recently renovated and renamed Chah-pekw O' Ket'-toh "Stone Lagoon" Visitor Center, the first tribally operated visitor center within the State Park system.

 

The virtual event will feature speakers from the Tribe and Park leadership as well as Yurok elders, who will talk about the Tribe’s unique connection to the coastal lagoon. Located within Yurok Ancestral Territory, Chah-pekw O' Ket'-toh carries an immense cultural value for the Yurok people.

 

The Yurok Tribe and the California Department of Parks and Recreation formed a first-of-its-kind agreement, which paved the way for the Tribe to operate the visitor center. Please join us in celebrating this major victory for tribal sovereignty.
