This Portuguese traditional festival began in the mid 1700s in the Azorean islands, and was eventually brought to the community of Gustine by immigrants committed to preserving their culture.
If signed, the California Racial Mascot Act would ban the use of "Redskin" as a school mascot name. Currently four high schools in California still use what many call a Native American slur as their school mascot. Three of the four high schools--Gustine, Tulare and Chowchilla--are located in the Central Valley.
