Topic: Journey through the Kumeyaay Cosmos

Since time and memorial, The original people of the San Diego region, The Kumeyaay, have used the Cosmos to navigate their existence. While the physical world is ever evolving and dynamic, the constellations have remained. The Kumeyaay have used the cosmos as a constant reminder and diagram of the Kumeyaay collective of generational knowledge. Kumeyaay traditional Bird Songs and Oral Tradition have embedded these understandings of the physical, intellectual and spiritual world. This lecture will explain those relationships as well as shine further light on the totality of what is The Kumeyaay Journey.
