MLC/OEC staff offer our condolences to the Preston family for their loss. Kenny visited the OEC program many times with students and staff from OBA. He was a great mentor, leader and instructor, we’ll miss him...

In honor of Native America Heritage month, we recognize the rich diversity of Native American peoples. Since time immemorial, California Native Americans have s...tewarded these lands, building communities, and fostering rich cultures. Today, Native Americans work to confront some of the most pressing challenges for all Americans. This month we encourage the public to learn more about the people who first called this state and nation home, as we pause to reflect on their past, present, and future.

The Kutzadika’a, Mono Lake Paiute, are working to obtain Federal recognition as a sovereign Native American Tribal Nation. In September 2020 legislation was introduced to extend federal recognition to the Mono Lake Kutzadika’a Tribe.
