Kumeyaay Speaker Visits Gillispie
To complement their study of California’s indigenous cultures, the Grade 3 students were treated to a presentation on the Kumeyaay by a visiting speaker.
In the new multi-purpose room, they learned about the history of the Kumeyaay people who are native to the San Diego region. They were able to view a number of artifacts and representations of traditional garb, tools, and natural materials used historically by this indigenous tribe and hear more about how the Kumeyaay continue to maintain some traditions of their ancestors.
