Bassendine’s photographs are accompanied by powerful personal statements from Native community members calling attention to cultural connections to the land\, rematriation (restoring the relationship between Indigenous people and their ancestral land)\, and climate change.” \nAs an artist\, Bassendine has always been intrigued by human relationships — especially how they impact the discovery of identity and belonging within one’s culture and the wider world. By bringing so many Indigenous voices together\, she creates a unique experience for audiences to engage with these ideas themselves.”- de Young Museum of Fine Art \nTen Participating Tribal Groups: \nAssociation of Ramaytush Ohlone\, Confederated Villages of Lisjan\, Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area\, Tamien Nation\, Indian Canyon Chualar Tribe of the Costanoan-Ohlone People\, Amah Mutsun Tribal Band\, the Rumsen Ohlone Tribal Community\, Esselen Tribe of Monterey County\, the Salinan Tribe of San Luis Obispo and Monterey Counties\, and the Salinan T’rowt’raahl Tribal Communities. \nKirti Bassendine Documentary Photographer and Film Maker\, kiritbassendine@gmail.com\, 678-765-9484

SUMMARY:Juristac Event at Luna Gallery in San Juan Bautista
DESCRIPTION:It’s springtime\, and orange poppies\, purple lupine\, and red paintbrush flowers color the hillsides at Juristac\, a pristine hillside landscape in northern San Benito County and Southern Santa Clara County. \nIn honor of Earth Day\, the Luna Gallery in San Juan Bautista is hosting an informational evening about the history and future of Juristac. \nWho and What: Speakers from the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band will speak to the public about Juristac’s cultural\, spiritual\, and ecological importance for Indigenous people. This event accompanies the photo exhibit “Contemporary Indigenous Voices of California’s South Coast Range\,” on display at Luna Gallery 3/15-4/27. \nWhere: Luna Gallery\, 107 B The Alameda Ave.\, San Juan Bautista\, CA 95045 \nWhen: Saturday\, April 19\, 2025\, from 5:00-7:00 p.m. \nWhy: The pristine landscape of Juristac is threatened by a proposed open pit mine. \nLocated in the southern foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains where the Pajaro and San Benito rivers meet\, Juristac is a landscape of grassy hillsides dotted with ancient oak trees\, sycamore woodlands\, and natural tar springs found nowhere else in our region. Overhead\, raptors such as White-tailed Kites and Golden Eagles soar. At night time\, mountain lions\, coyotes\, and badgers roam. This landscape is ecologically important as one of the last remaining undeveloped corridors of land where wildlife can migrate between the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Diablo Range. \nJuristac also holds deep significance for the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band\, whose ancestors conducted religious ceremonies here for thousands of years. These traditions were disrupted during the Spanish conquest\, as many Mutsun people were forcibly taken from Juristac to California’s missions. Juristac is among the last undeveloped sacred Amah Mutsun sites. \nJuristac’s current owners propose building an open-pit sand-and-gravel mine\, which would devastate 400 acres of this land. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band has partnered with Green Foothills and other environmental organizations to try to stop a mining permit from being issued.
