A celebration in the Chumash Village: Traditional California Native Songs & Storytellers

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC - FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

The Ventura County Astronomical Society will participate in our celebration with a special presentation of the wonders of the sky with a slide show and the use of telescopes beginning after dark

ADMISSION: $5/Adult~$3/Senior & child (under 12)~$10/Family (limit 5)

This museum is incredible.  The curator, Walter Graywolf (a friend of mine), has put a lot of time and effort into building up the museum, adding to the exhibits and creating more community events. 

Their summer pow-wow should be coming up soon too.  You do not have to be Native America to attend. This is a great event for the whole family to learn about Chumash culture and other Native American heritage.
