16th Annual of "Gathering of Elders"-Angels Gate
2022-10-06 11:00 - 18:00 | Angels Gate Cultural Center, 3601 S. Gaffey St, San Pedro, CA, 90731, United States
The 16th Annual Many Winters Gathering of Elders-
Healing Through Traditional Teachings
October 6th-9th, 11am – 6pm, Pacific Time
San Pedro, CA – The Many Winters Gathering of Elders (MWGOE) Organizing Committee is excited to announce its 16th MWGOE, scheduled for Thursday, October 6 through Sunday, October 9, from 11 am to 6 pm at Angels Gate Cultural Center (AGCC) in San Pedro, CA on Gabrielino-Tongva territory. The MWGOE is a four-day gathering where Native/Indigenous Elders and knowledge-keepers from across the country gather to share teachings through oral tradition with the community. The Gathering also hosts various Native ceremonies that take place throughout the four days. The event is free, family-friendly, open to the public, and held in partnership with AGCC.
Elders from local tribes including Gabrielino-Tongva, Acjachemen, Fernandeño Tataviam, Chumash, and other California tribes have attended in the past and will join in October. Tribal elders from other regions (Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Montana, South Dakota and others) are expected, as well. The Gathering takes place under an arbor which serves as the traditional place of teaching and learning – where Elders pass on knowledge to the younger generation, which is part of intergenerational healing from historical trauma.
The first MWGOE was held on October 12, 1992, in response to the false narrative represented by the quincentennial celebrations of Christopher Columbus’ “discovery of America.” Today, the Gathering continues to be an important occasion for the Native/Indigenous community, to reconnect to and practice ceremony, and to celebrate 530 years of spiritual survival. It also allows access for the general public to learn and acknowledge the traditional knowledge and values that have supported and sustained Native lifeways.
During the 16th Many Winters Gathering of Elders, no alcohol, drugs, cameras, pictures, video or other recording equipment are allowed; the MWGOE Organizing Committee requests that attendees respect and observe ceremonial protocol. Angels Gate Cultural Center is located at 3601 South Gaffey Street, San Pedro, CA, 90731.
For more information regarding the 16th MWGOE and to donate, please visit mwgoe.org or call (562) 265-8423.

NOTICE: THE WEATHER IN FEBRUARY IS UNPREDICATABLE…
HOWEVER, THE GREAT LOS ANGELES AIR RAID OF 1942
WILL TAKE PLACE RAIN OR SHINE
The Great Los Angeles Air Raid
On the night and early morning of February 24 and 25, 1942, a singular event unfolded in the skies over Southern California – the continental United States was attacked by an enemy… or was it? The reports of this vary, from a squadron of Japanese bombers, a weather balloon, and even alien spacecraft, and the subsequent government conspiracies that followed. We do know that something happened; too many people witnessed the event to dispute that fact, but what really happened?
The newspaper reports from Wednesday morning of the 25, varied wildly. The Los Angeles Examiner said that civilian witness had put the number of planes at fifty, and that three of them had been shot down over the ocean, although there was no immediate confirmation of this from Army or Navy sources.
