Learn more about the important connections between people and naturally occurring asphalt, found at La Brea Tar Pits and across Southern California, both historically and today. Hear from anthropologist, culture bearer, and educator Heidi Lucero (Acjachemen & Mutsun Ohlone) on the diverse ways people use asphalt as a significant natural and cultural resource for communities who have lived in this region for generations. Educators will have the chance to connect over breakfast, participate in discussion around classroom application of the topic, and receive teaching resources.
