PURIFICATION––Native American Little Bear Bailey, right, performs a sage ceremony on Calabasas City Councilman Dennis Washburn to ward off negative spirits. The ritual took place on Saturday at Juan Bautista de Anza Park in Calabasas marking the 226th anniversary of De Anza’s expedition that passed through this area. The De Anza Expedition trekked from Mexico to the San Francisco Bay Area to explore and establish sites for California missions.
