Past Exhibition: Ancient Spirits Speak
ANCIENT SPIRITS SPEAK
The Native People of San Diego County
Who are the people that have inhabited this land since time immemorial? In the San Diego International Airport, Terminal 2, eight cases were exhibited on Kumeyaay/Diegueño culture and history from ancient times to the present. We highlighted important periods in time and lifestyle, including stories of the land and home, the impact of the Spanish Missions, and modern tribal sovereignty. The exhibit was on display through March, 2007. If you are traveling into or out of San Diego, please make sure to see our display on the balcony above baggage claim. We have received great feedback from Tribal members and the general public around the nation who saw the exhibition while traveling through. After de-installing the exhibit in late March, most of the display will return to the museum for presentation to the public through the fall. We hope to travel a specially prepared portion of this exhibit to other museums, libraries, universities, and other venues that show an interest. Please contact us if you would like this display in your institution!
