Education & Outreach

Gene is committed to preserving Native American culture and passing on his knowledge to others. Gene was President of the Native American Heritage Preservation Council of Kern County (a Non-Profit-Intertribal) for 19 years.  In that capacity, he coordinated Standing Bear Pow Wow; Eagles Heart Dance Class; the Native American Fall Gathering and other cultural and educational events.  He has given lectures, demonstrations, workshops, and classes.

Gene strongly believes that youth are our future, and he thoroughly enjoys connecting with children and the community where he can share his knowledge of Native Culture.  Gene can be reached via email earawhide@gmail.com if you are interested in connecting with him about an event at your school or classroom
