Through Native American inspired art, children are invited to explore traditional Native American values and cultural history in a two-hour program at Poway’s Kumeyaay-Ipai Interpretive Center on Saturday, March 16.
Led by staff and volunteers, kids design their own "spirit rock," make a pot, paint a watercolor, and create a treasure pouch as an engaging way to connect to our nation's heritage. Parents must accompany children. Cost is $3 to participate.
Interpretive Services Coordinator Annie Ransom said that the goal behind the class is to foster a deeper appreciation for history and connect children with the site’s cultural heritage.
A thriving community of Native Americans populated Pauwai long before the Spanish arrived. The evidence of their lives and work can be seen today at the Kumeyaay-Ipai Interpretive Center, founded by a partnership with the City of Poway, Friends of the Kumeyaay, and the San Pasqual Band of Indians.
The center offers docent-led tours on the third Saturday of each month between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. The Kumeyaay-Ipai Interpretive Center is located at 13104 Ipai Waaypuk Trail, south of Poway Road.
