Our journey starts at La Jolla Shores beach with Native Like Water, led by Marc Chavez, who emphasizes reconnecting Native people in Southern California to the coast and helping youth rediscover their ancestral ties.

Next, we meet tattoo artist James Lachappa at Pacific Beach, the only Native American in a row of tattoo parlors. He shares his background as a skater and the importance of understanding traditional tattoo symbolism related to Native medicine.

Ruth-Ann then learns archery from Cherokee transplant Nico Johnson, gaining insights into this ancient practice of food procurement. The episode features sculptor Jonney Bear Contreras from the San Pasqual Kumeyaay Reservation, whose work showcases the deep cultural roots of indigenous artistry.

Finally, we meet rapper Lloyd Duro, who blends ancient bird singing with modern rap, highlighting the spiritual essence of this traditional art form in his music.
