DR. YOLANDA BROYLES-GONZ\u00c3\u0081LEZ BOOK RELEASE & SIGNING<\/span><\/p>\n

The University of Arizona\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Native American Red Ink Magazine<\/em> is proud to host the launch event of Professor Yolanda Broyles-Gonz\u00c3\u00a1lez\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s new book Earth Wisdom: A California Chumash Woman<\/em>, written in collaboration with Chumash native elder Pilulaw Khus. The event will take place 7:00 p.m., Friday, February 3, 2012 at Antigone Book Store located at 311 N. 4th<\/sup> Avenue in Tucson, Arizona.<\/p>\n

Broyles-Gonz\u00c3\u00a1lez gathered the oral history of Pilulaw Khus for over ten years. This book provides a new vision of California history and an important vision for the survival of our planet. This is a groundbreaking Indigenous women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s history volume.<\/p>\n

In Earth Wisdom: A California Chumash Woman<\/em>, Khus narrates the history of California and of the state\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Indigenous peoples\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 from a native woman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s perspective.<\/strong> She includes her personal story of over four decades of activism in tribal, environmental, and human rights issues. That powerful history is both deeply spiritual and political; it constitutes an important segment of the Civil Rights Movement.<\/p>\n

Yolanda Broyles-Gonz\u00c3\u00a1lez provides an extensive introduction, carefully providing context to Khus\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s narrative, as well as to the periods before, during, and after European colonization of California. She challenges many of the widely held assumptions put forward by anthropologists and historians, as she unfolds an Indigenous understanding of gender, of history, of the universe. The book is the first to document 20th<\/sup> Century Chumash re-emergence struggles, such as the yearlong Point Conception Occupation (1978).<\/p>\n
