Kumeyaay-Diegueño People of Southern California
410 Island Avenue, San Diego, 92101
Cost: Free - $5
For thousands of years the Kumeyaay-Diegueño people have called this region of Southern California home. The next “History Talks!” Lecture features Director of the Barona Cultural Museum Laurie Egan-Hedley as she shares the vibrant history of the Kumeyaay-Diegueño people from pre-contact to the present. She will talk about the three waves of newcomers to this region and the effects each had on the indigenous culture and heritage, the establishment of the first reservation at Capitan Grande, and about the Barona Cultural Museum’s role in the community through education, language preservation, and various projects.
