A lecture and discussion series detailing the lives of the Juaneños kicked-off last week at Mission San Juan Capistrano. The next presentation, titled “We’re Still Here: To Be a Southern Californian Native American Indian in the 21st Century,” will be held at 5 PM Tuesday, January 30 at San Juan Capistrano Library, 31495 El Camino Real.

The Juaneño Band of Mission Indians, Acjachemen Nation are the original inhabitants of the lands that ultimately became the County of Orange, as well as parts of San Diego, Los Angeles, and Riverside Counties. The Tribe provided the original manpower for the construction of some of the earliest key landmarks in Orange County, including Mission San Juan Capistrano.

County to Temporarily Close Portion of SART
Beginning Monday, January 22, 2018, the County of Orange will temporarily close a portion of the Santa Ana River Trail (SART) from Memory Lane in Orange to Taft Avenue/Ball Road in Anaheim for an environmental remediation project.

The environmental remediation project includes various activities related to addressing the local environmental impacts of the presence of unauthorized encampments, including removal of waste and debris, removal of bio-hazardous materials, scraping and removal of surface soil, and deferred repair activities.

Much of the work relating to the project has been deferred due to concerns about the difficulty in moving the large number of people encamped in the area, which is necessary for performing the work. Individuals who are illegally encamped in the area will be asked to voluntarily relocate from the project area beginning Jan. 22.

The County has undertaken a concerted effort, in partnership with the nonprofit CityNet, to engage in intensive case management with individuals encamped in the area to offer resources and available shelter. To date, CityNet has successfully connected more than 156 individuals to available housing and resources. These efforts will continue.

The public access hours will remain the same as currently posted, November 1 through February 28 from 7 AM to 6 PM; and March 1 through October 31 from 7 AM to 9 PM. Public access hours will be actively enforced along the entirety of the SART.

For more information, see the full press release.
