A Golden Opportunity to Learn Local History

 A Golden Opportunity to Learn Local History

History can be messy, and sometimes even uncomfortable, but it’s important. Learning about the past helps us understand and situate ourselves in the present. Incorporating multiple voices and perspectives only furthers and enriches the story, making us more empathetic to the plight of others and giving us a well-rounded and accurate picture of the past.

Native American Heritage Month

Native American Heritage Month

November is Native American Heritage Month, but at Turtle Bay Exploration Park, we celebrate Native American Heritage every day. Our 300-acre campus straddles two traditional Wintu territories; ?elpom on the south side of the river and dawpom to the north. When you are at Turtle Bay, you are walking in the footsteps of people who have lived here since time immemorial.
