The last few years have magnified the challenges and divisions facing our community. But Orange County is stronger when we’re united—united in our diversity and in our passion to improve lives for everyone who lives here.
Cultures United is a virtual conversation series that encourages dialogue, collaboration, philanthropy, and unity. Informed and motivated by our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion statement, each discussion aims to highlight and celebrate our differences, share our strengths, and unite to do more for our community.

Celebrating Orange County’s Native American Heritage and Future
Celebrate Native American Heritage Month with a conversation on diverse traditions and current issues faced by our local Indigenous people groups.
In this Cultures United conversation, we focus on how recognition matters as leaders are working to pass on their history, heritage and cultural traditions to future generations. Plus, hear stories, customs and traditions from members of other tribes who live in Orange County.
