Our
Native people have been constantly and are still residents of America’s finest
city today. Our urban eyes too often focus on the modern and miss out on subtle
sights that may be very obvious to Native American traditional powers of observation.
Today we have an opportunity to experience insights into entertaining qualities
of heritage and culture. Special displays will be on view at the Kumeyay Indian
Tribal Exhibit: Honoring Mother Earth. Our Native American Indian Tribal participation
will include many individuals who are direct descendents or were former residents
of Old Town San Diego/ Cosoy: Jane Dumas, Richard Bugbee, Mara Peters, Abel
Silvas, Don Vingneault, and many others.
Visit the Rio Vista Promenade location for the cultural display, songs and stories of many San Diego Kumeyaay Native Americans.
