We're excited to have Joe Weber speak to us about his heritage and the Tule boats. Joe is a member of the Hopper clan tribe and is half Pomo and half Lakota. He learned about Tule boat making from his uncle, and has been the Tule boat instructor for the last 11 years at Big Valley Tule boat races. A passionate advocate for native rights, he has supported environmental stewardship on several fronts, and was elected as Housing Committee Chairman for his tribe.
