Oct. 12, 2023 - CSU Channel Islands invites students, faculty, staff, and alumni to roll up their sleeves and participate in the annual hukisunupahani lo’ka’aliyaš ’isatʰwiwa (we restore the path to satʰwiwa) event on Saturday, Oct. 14 from 8 a.m. -12:30 p.m.
Located on the main campus, satʰwiwa (Round Mountain) is sacred to the Chumash people, where ceremonies were conducted in the past and will be again. The continuing work to restore this place of cultural significance includes trail restoration work to provide erosion control measures, restore native plants, and aid in trail identification and educational signage.
Participants can choose from two different ways to be involved:
- Trail restoration will be clearing brush and removing root balls. All restoration effort is physical work and all volunteers will be using hand tools.
- Chumash culture sharing with local Barbareño/Ventureño Band of Mission Indians tribal members.
There will be an opportunity to change sites with two separate shifts, after approximately one hour.
Please RSVP if you plan to attend.
Tools, refreshments, and lunch will be provided.
We highly encourage carpooling as parking is limited.
