Lisa
L. Woodward, Ph.D., an archivist for the Pechanga Cultural Resources
Department will present a special viewing of a film about the linguist
John Peabody Harrington who documented fading Native languages in
the Southwest US in the 1920s and 1930s. This film, "Chasing Voices",
aired on PBS in November 2021. Dr. Woodward, who is featured in the
documentary, will introduce this approximately two-hour program and
will explain its ties to the Temecula Valley. Dr. Woodward will answer
questions afterward. For any who cannot attend in person, the presentation
will be live streamed on the historical society Facebook page and
will be archived on the society's YouTube channel. The film is available
on PBS Passport, but Dr. Woodward's special introduction is not included
on PBS. To view a trailer for the film CLICK
