It's pow-wow time. On Saturday, September 15th and Sunday, September 16th, the Chumash Indian Museum in Thousand Oaks will host its sixth annual Intertribal Gathering.

If you've ever been curious about this native American people, now is the perfect time to drop by and immerse yourself in Chumash culture.

The event will feature performances, storytelling, music, an arts market and even lessons on basket weaving and jewelry making.

Visitors will get the chance to meet significant community figures like Chumash elders Alan Salazar and Lew Silva.

The two-day gathering takes place between noon and 6 p.m. (both days) at Oakbrook Regional Park, an archeologically significant spot.

Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for seniors and children under 12.
