During this tour, educators will explore the little-known history and culture of Acjachemen families, commonly known as the Juaneno Band of Indians. Acjachemen community leaders will guide participants to the Blas Aguilar Adobe Museum and Acjachemen Cultural Center, the Old San Juan Capistrano Cemetery, and the village at Putuidem. They will also help participants consider ways to center authentic stories of the Acjachemen in the K-12 classroom. A light breakfast and lunch will be included as part of the tour.
