First People’s Legacy at California State Fair | Sacramento News
Description
For the first time ever, the California State Fair unveils a groundbreaking exhibit honoring the art, traditions, and living culture of California’s First Peoples, featuring regalia, canoes, and personal artifacts from tribes like Miwok and Nisenan. Heather Bernikoff, the first Indigenous member of the fair’s board, wears a family heirloom to honor ancestral lands, while a teepee with handprints calls attention to missing and murdered Indigenous people. Live demonstrations and performances bring traditions to life, inviting visitors to witness a vibrant, ongoing culture—not a relic of the past. This exhibit is a powerful act of acknowledgment and celebration of Indigenous presence, resilience, and enduring spirit.
