La Rumorosa Rock Art: Kumeyaay Shamanistic Expressions
All over the world from, San Diego
Cost: Free
Sierra Club Sierra Talks: Kumeyaay Native Americans have lived in the San Diego region for at least 10,000 years. They survived and flourished partly because of their spiritual shamanistic system of beliefs. This system is reflected in the rock art that survives in the deserts and mountains east of the city. Dr. Don Liponi has studied rock art for 50 years. He realized there was a huge vacuum in Kumeyaay-Patayan archaeology and rock art in southern California, southwestern Arizona, and northern Baja. He organized a group of more than 50 professionals, Native Americans, and vocationalists to recover the rock art of these "lost cultures".
