Here.

From the site:

Over the summer we have been hard at work on a significant redesign project, including undertaking major changes to our logo, newsletter, and website, which launches today! Click here to see our new look, which was result of a team effort, led by Publications Manager, Pamela Grieman, and Web & Media Arts Coordinator, Jamie Chan.  The website will be the place to go to find updates on all the Center’s work and events, including cutting edge information about UCLA, our faculty, our community, and the issues that affect Native peoples in and beyond California.
