Sunbelt Spotlight: Kumeyaay Cosmology
All over the world from, San Diego
Cost: Free
Kumeyaay cosmology was traditionally intertwined with ceremonies, harvest & hunts, burning schedules and the acquisition of spiritual power. Personal conduct was subject to cosmological constraints and rewards. Cosmology was so important that Spanish priests and subsequent U.S. government agents worked hard to repress and expunge the beliefs from Kumeyaay society. This talk with Michael Connolly Miskwish provides a partial glimpse of the Kumeyaay cosmology with worldview, observatories, constellations and stories.
