California’s Central Coast has been home to diverse peoples and stories for thousands of years.

About the Film

For the past year we have been honored to work with partners to create 21 video clips that depict the historical significance of the Chinese Fishing Village. This documentary was created by Ibis Education & Media in partnership with the Museum, Monterey Waterkeeper, the Quock Mui Foundation, and Fishing Villageage descendants has added curriculum for grades K-8. If you are a teacher who would like to bring the curriculum with the associated classroom kit and booklet to your students, please visit our education page.
