Pá'Čapa: A Mt Rubidoux Story Documentary
Mt. Rubidoux, a sacred mountain located in Riverside, California, overlooks the Santa Ana River bend. This mountain is an iconic Riverside landmark and includes a three-mile recreational trail that reaches upward of 1,000 visitors a day. Monuments and plaques on Mt. Rubidoux centers on settler colonial history. Through engagement with tribal communities, this documentary seeks to present the voices of culture bearers to highlight Native Peoples perspectives on how this is a sacred space. As women of Southern California tribes our team looks to make visible the Native stories of this historic place. If you live in Riverside you've probably been to or at least seen Mt Rubidoux. You've most likely walked to the top of the Mountain and stood under the waving flag or stopped along the trail to marvel at the beautiful sight of the bending Santa Ana River. But how many actually know the original history of this beautiful "landmark" of Riverside, the city we all know and love? This place is so much more than just a tourist attraction. Our hope is to create an understanding and appreciation for what the mountain was, is, and will always be to our people. This documentary will hopefully be something that our people can be proud of and the public can learn from. We humbly ask for your generous support, Thank you!
