Ms. Nunez will explore the history of storytelling and the use of oral tradition in preserving and passing on California Indian cultural heritage.  She has shared her stories at Disneyland, Los Angeles and Anaheim convention centers, and hundreds of schools and libraries.  Ms. Nunez believes in the use of storytelling to illustrate the beauty of California Indian communities and looks to inspire  others to discover more about their own cultures.
