- City of Temecula with the Pechanga Band of Indians
Temecula's yearly civic celebration of Pechanga Pu'éska Mountain Day, a city holiday proclaimed in 2012 to honor the culture and heritage of the Pechanga Band of Indians, Temecula's first peoples. The City of Temecula and the Pechanga Tribe hold the commemoration together at the Temecula Civic Center on the evening of November 15. The day recalls the community's seven-year effort to stop the proposed Liberty Quarry, which would have excavated Pu'éska Mountain, the Pechanga people's sacred creation area. The city also encourages residents to watch The Mountain that Weeps, Pechanga Creative Studios' award-winning documentary about that fight. The event is free and runs from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. It is a good opportunity for school-age children to learn about local Native history during Native American Heritage Month. The listing does not describe the program, so check with the city for details.
