What is Redbird?
Redbird’s Mission - Promoting the awareness and celebration of indigenous cultures and people and creating a sustainable future

Redbird is a charitable and educational non profit association which received its status as a 501(c)(3) organization in 1994. We have five program areas which focus on Native American cultural preservation, and environmental education and action.

Children of Many Colors Powwow
Annual three day gathering, held the third weekend of July at Moorpark College in Moorpark, California, the Children of Many Colors Powwow is our signature event, bringing together the urban Native American community of southern California with visitors from all walks of life in a friendly environment where cultural preservation and multi-cultural learning and understanding take place. The 2016 Powwow will take place July 15-17.

Blanket, Toy and School Supplies Drive and Mini-Powwow
Held annually the first Saturday in December in Simi Valley. This one day mini-powwow generates donations which are shared with reservations in some of the most impoverished areas of the United States, as well as local families. This year’s event will take place on December 5at the Simi Valley Town Center Mall Community Room, 11 AM to 3 PM, 1555 Simi Town Center Way, Simi Valley, CA 93065. New, lightweight, washable blankets are the primary item we seek for this event. Everyone is welcome.

Forest Recovery Project
This effort, in its fifth year, documents the recovery of the Angeles National Forest form the Station Fire and includes educational presentations made throughout California, focusing on the ecology of fire and our role as environmental stewards.

Pinon Project
This is an ongoing effort to restore a viable population of piñon trees to the Angeles National Forest in areas where they once thrived.

Chilao School
Located in the heart of the Angeles National Forest, the Chilao School hosts environmental, cultural and art programs and workshops. We also spire to be of service to groups in the greater southern California region who address the underserved, at risk, developmentally and physically challenged, and terminally ill children.
