Dragonfly Memories with Ernest Siva (Serrano and Cahuilla)

Ernest Siva is a historian, bird singer, linguist, and the founder & president of the Dorothy Ramon Learning Center in Banning, CA. Join us as Ernest shares intimate stories about his experiences as a storyteller to his people, the creation of the Dorothy Ramon Center, and his time at Idyllwild Arts dating back to 1960. His oral storytelling tradition connects communities and generations, illustrating the context of our existence on beautiful Mt. San Jacinto, which has always been a place to gather and share creatively.

What a blessing that I watched this last night on the webinar.

What a privilege to listen to Mr. Siva and to learn from his shared stories. I particularly was drawn to his teachings about the magic of music, and to the importance of protecting our songs, our language in order to remember who we are. Thank you, for your work, Mr. Siva, and to IAA for sharing this with us.
