Daisy Ocampo (Caxcan) earned her Ph.D. in history from the University of California, Riverside in 2019. Her research in Native and public history informs her work with museum exhibitions, historical preservation projects, and community-based archives. Sheintegrates critical race theory, decolonial praxis of tribal sovereignty, and community traditions to create a new direction of inclusivity in public history that visibilizes Indigenous people, voices, and community narratives.
Lina Tejeda (Pomo) recently earned her M.A. in history at California State University, San Bernardino. Her areas of focus are California Indian studies and museum studies/public history. She is passionate about working in institutions and advocating for the return of sacred cultural items to tribal nations to which they belong and telling the true histories of the California Indian people. Lina is a traditional Pomo dancer and a student of her cultural traditions, including basket weaving, gathering materials, regalia making, and singing.
