Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join  for an afternoon of wonder, beauty and surprise about the art, craft and practices from the oldest native ancestors who walked the land  now called Berkeley-and how those traditions live on today.

In this premier public viewing, objects from the West Berkeley Shellmound and Emeryville Shellmound will be shared for the first time-many of stunning beauty.
