Many are looking to exit the market in impacted communities, but a powerful state lawmaker is trying to keep them. Mike McGuire is a Democrat representing a Northern California district directly affected by wildfires, and he just became the top ranking member of the California State Senate.

More than 400 celebrate historic Native American monument in Capitol Park honoring tribeson whose land the state Capitol now standsState marks Native American Heritage Month by unveiling 10thtribute in the park commemorating California heroes & protectors SACRAMENTO—On a cool, breezy Sacramento morning, more than 400 tribal members, dignitaries and students gathered to unveil the first-ever Capitol monument acknowledging tribes residing in California and their millennia-long, resilient presence on land now known as California.The historic tribute specifically recognizes the Sacramento region tribes of Wilton Rancheria, Ione Band of Miwok Indians, Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians, Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians, Buena Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians, and Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians.The new monument is the tenth addition to a park memorializing California's firefighters, veterans, and public safety officers. It is the first addition to the park since 2009, when the statue of Thomas Starr King was brought to California from Boston. King was a Civil War-era minister, orator, and abolitionist. The park was envisioned in 1863 as a place to reflect and celebrate the state's history and natural beauty, according to the Capitol Park website. Assemblymember James C. Ramos—first California Native American elected to the Legislature since statehood in 1850—authored AB 338 in 2021, which authorized the monument.Ramos said, “This monument—now a centerpiece of Capitol Park—adds a new and long overdue chapter to California's relationship with its tribes. As a state, we are beginning to tell our history from a broader, more complete, and accurate perspective by including the voice of California Native Americans.” He added, “As Native Americans, we have been invisible, romanticized, minimized, or disparaged for centuries. That is not easily or quickly undone. But today I am proud to be Native American and proud to be a Californian.”The Miwok skirt dancer portrayed in the monument is modeled after William J. Franklin Sr., the late respected Miwok leader and cultural dancer. Franklin played a critical role in preserving Miwok dances and traditions, and helped build three Northern California roundhouses, dedicated spaces for Native American ceremonies, songs, dances, and gatherings. Sacramento sculptor Ronnie Frostad designed the project.“Mr. Franklin was a teacher of Native culture and he understood that our stories, songs, and culture need to be shared and taught to new generations,” Ramos said. “He would have been pleased to see so many students here, of all ages—and particularly proud to see students from a school recently named Miwok.” Until June, Miwok Middle School was named after John Sutter, who enslaved Native people during California's Gold Rush period.Wilton Rancheria Chairman Jesus Tarango stated, “Today's unveiling signifies the start of a new era at the California State Capitol. One where we stop uplifting a false narrative and start honoring the original stewards of this land by telling a true and accurate portrayal of California's journey to statehood. “Every tribe across the state has their own Bill Franklin, a leader who fought to keep our cultures and traditions alive during a time where it was dangerous to do so. This monument serves to thank and honor each one of them.“It also celebrates the power California Tribes have when we work together to achieve a common goal. I would like to thank my fellow Tribal Leaders and Assemblymember Ramos for their collaboration throughout this legislative process.”Sara Dutschke, chairperson of the Ione Band of Miwok Indians, applauded the joint tribal effort. “AB 338 [the law authorizing the statue] paved the way for real collaboration and partnership among many of the Miwok tribes of the Sacramento region,” Dutschke said. “Working together, we have achieved an amazing accomplishment: Installation of the very first monument on State Capitol grounds that honors California's First People. This sort of recognition for our people is long overdue and represents an important step toward telling the true history of California.”Lloyd Mathiesen, chairman of the Chicken Ranch Rancheria, stated,“We are so excited for this day—for this day and this statue to forever be a reminder of where we came from and that if we stand together, we can accomplish anything.”Buena Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians Chairwoman Rhonda Pope said, ”AB338 is a step toward healing for the hundreds of thousands of our ancestors who lost their lives due to the genocide of the missions led by Junipero Serra.”Dignitaries attending the event included state Treasurer Fiona Ma, local school board members and other elected officials, regional tribal leaders, and more than 300 students from area schools.

Franklin Sr.: Miwok Elder and Inspiration for Capitol Park MonumentWilliam J. Franklin Sr. was a Miwok Indian leader and cultural preservationist whose efforts to preserve and promote the Miwok and other Native American cultures—most notably, the traditional dances—will be long remembered. He was born in Nashville, California, located in El Dorado County, on September 20, 1912, and crossed over on May 2, 2000.Mr. Franklin was proud of his Native American roots and championed fostering knowledge and respect of California Indians. This included successful lobbying to create a place where California Indians could practice their traditional heritage on historical lands which led to creation of Grinding Rock Park, also known as Grinding Rock-Chaw'se in Pine Grove, California. He also served as a consultant to the Department of Parks and Recreation and helped build three California roundhouses — dedicated space for ceremony, songs, dances and gatherings. In 1979, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. appointed Mr. Franklin to serve on the Native American Heritage Commission.Even as a young man, he was a farsighted advocate for his people, and petitioned the United States government for land on which the Ione could build homes without fear of being moved.In the 1940s, Mr. Franklin and others founded the Federated Indians of California to voice Native American concerns. About this same time, he also began researching Miwok ceremonial life by assembling regalia, interviewing elders, and collecting songs. Mr. Franklin had been a dancer since the age of 12 at the Jackson Valley roundhouse and refused to let Miwok traditions die. Mr. Franklin's many endeavors helped ensure traditional and historic practices continue and continue to inspire younger generations.At his passing, Mr. Franklin was survived by four sons, seven daughters, 38 grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren, and 12 great-great-grandchildren.

An iconic TV character is immortal. That truth has become increasingly official in today's digital age where every episode is but a click away. And as Alison Arngrim has well learned, if you played the villain, folks are still pissed. Alison's portrayal of frontier hellion Nellie Oleson struck such a resonate chord with fans that Alison has learned to embrace the Nellie energy and use it for good. Her book is called, Confessions of a Prairie Bitch: How I survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated.Raised in a bohemian show-biz family, Alison has been acting since early childhood. Her role as Nellie allowed her to vent the anger she carried due to suffering repeated sexual abuse at the hands of her brother. The power of Nellie gave her a voice to testify before the California State Senate and help create new law that criminalizes incest.Nellie also provided Alison with a platform to advocate for AIDS research, education and outreach when her TV husband and beloved friend Steve Tracy died of the disease. Her traumatic childhood caught up with her after the wonderful distraction of Little House was over and with a compass that points to “Happy,” she walked into a therapist's office at the age of 21 and said, “Here's what happened to me. Let's get to work.”Alison shares loads of backstage Little House stories and talks about her relationships, then and now, with her cast mates and she is definitely up for a round of LHOP Trivia!Plus, Fritz and Weezy are recommending the Barack Obama series, Working: What We Do All Day, on Netflix and Shrinking on Apple +, and we shout out the new album on Band Camp from Media Path friend, Melanie, The Magic Bus.Path Points of Interest:Alison ArngrimConfessions of a Prairie Bitch by Alison ArngrimAlison Arngrim on WikipediaAlison Arngrim on TwitterAlison Arngrim on InstagramAlison Arngrim on FacebookLivin' on a PrairieShrinking - Apple +Working: What We Do All Day on NetflixThe Magic Bus by Melanie
