Meet the author, the artist ... and the Native American heroes in this landmark book.


Dorothy Ramon Learning Center’s nonprofit publishing arm, Ushkana Press, is pleased to announce its newest book: This War is For A Whole Life: The Culture of Resistance Among Southern California Indians.  

This landmark work by Richard A. Hanks, PhD, tells the mostly untold stories of Southern California’s own Native American heroes as they waged battle in tumultuous times to secure their Southern California homelands, natural resources, and respect. Historical photos, and the voices of Southern California Native American Elders help tell this history that’s been missing from the history books — until now.

Meet the author, Richard A. Hanks, at our reception, and the artist who did the book cover illustration, David Fairrington. Celebrate a book that tells Native Americans' roles in shaping Southern Californian — and national — history.
