The Newman Catholic Community cordially invites you to a meal honoring El Día de Los Muertos on Sunday, October 28th from 5:45-6:45 PM, and a celebratory Mass following at 7 PM. Food (tamales, pan dulce, and more!) will be served in the Quad, in front of the chapel. We encourage bringing photos of loved ones that have passed to decorate our memorial altar, or send them to catholic@oxy.edu and we will gladly print them out for you.
Snapshots in history show that Native people have moved from rural to urban areas at particular points in time. These time periods include, the great depression, World War II, as well as, the termination and relocation era of the 1950s and 1960s. While the Federal Government pushed assimilation policies, Native people sought to create new Inter-Tribal communities. In addition, Native Americans told their own stories through oral tradition, written documents and photographs which defined their own realities.
