Kumeyaay Cosmology Gallery Talk

Curious about the Kumeyaay Cosmos? Join us for a free brief lecture introducing how one of San Diego’s original peoples looked to the skies for navigation, guidance, and to understand the origins of the universe. This cosmological knowledge remains central to Kumeyaay traditions and beliefs, which were almost lost to time through colonization. These talks are held in honor of Native American Heritage Month to help preserve this cultural knowledge for future generations. Space is limited. Please register in advance to secure your spot.
