The Noyo Bida Truth Project hosts free public Teach-Ins that bring Indigenous voices, historians, educators, advocates, and community members together to deepen our understanding of the Mendocino Coast and the larger histories that shape our lives today.
Our Teach-Ins explore Indigenous history and contemporary experience, land and water stewardship, cultural resilience, racial justice, education, place names, and the ongoing work of truth, relationship, and repair.
These gatherings are free and open to the public. We record many of them so the learning can continue beyond the room.
