Eric Tuan’s opera Echoes of Eureka tells the true story of the 1885 expulsion of the Chinese community in Humboldt and their subsequent fight for justice and dignity. The performers are 40 youth voices from the Piedmont East Bay Children’s Choir\, who have presented the piece to critical acclaim in the Bay Area\, in Humboldt County in collaboration with AAPI community partners\, and on tour in Europe.    The opera will be paired with a screening of Chisato Hughes’ powerful film Many Moons\, in which Chinese community members search for survivors of the Humboldt 1885 expulsion and 60 years of enforced exclusion. The only known survivor is Charlie Moon\, whose descendants are Native tribal members.
