Some snapshots from last week's Campus wide Cultural Awareness Training in collaboration with the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation on the UC Davis Campus.

Far Western's very own Lauré Kwoka and Nick Longo came to UC Davis last week to help co-host a cultural awareness training for campus employees that highlighted the importance of respecting cultural materials and working with local tribal leaders to identify, preserve and protect Patwin language, culture, and sites in Yolo County.
