This is the fantastic artwork of Guillermo Aranda, Guillermo contacted us last year to paint the OCEN creation story. He soon learned that this was a big capstone
project. I put him in contact with Phil Laverty and together our ancestor's history started to appear. The painting is 6 1/2 feet x 20 feet long. It is so spiritual and real,
he captured our story. Guillermo has gifted the painting to OCEN, it currently is being displayed at the Student Center at CSUMB. We will get possession when we
have a cultural center or office large enough to display.

What a weekend, great food, Bronco Organic Foods brought in so much organic fruit and
vegetables courtesy of Indian Health Center of Santa Clara Valley. Gary Gomez and his
assistant Fernando cooked up a storm. Great omelets and they didn't have any oil, they were
boiled. Tribal member Gerald Burden and his wife came all the way from Washington.
Native TANF Program educated our members on how to participate in their program. Crafts
included abalone jewelry making, rock painting, basket weaving and planting of seeds.
Everyone that attended volunteered, great job. Thank you to everyone for their generous
donations, it is because of you that we are able to pay for supplies and the Newsletter.
