Indigenous Landscapes

In this season finale episode, Willa sits down with Gregg Castro, Culture Director of the Association of Ramaytush Ohlone, to discuss Indigenous relationships with the land; perspectives and practices passed down through generations. Together, they explore the newly refurbished mural in the Lamchin Interpretive Center, created by Amy Hosa in partnership with the ARO. The mural depicts Ssupichom, a thriving village that stood here long before Filoli was built. John Chau, Filoli’s Plant Curator, also joins the conversation to share insights on the restoration of native plants surrounding the center, from the practical dogbane to the showstopping matilija poppies.
