A slide lecture by Bruce Love, Ph.D. in conjunction with the exhibit “This Valley Is Sacred: The Ancestors Are Speaking,” which closes August 11. Sunday, July 28, 2 -3 PM.

The local tribes that share the Antelope Valley believe they have been here since time immemorial. Archaeologists have now shown conclusively, scientifically, that the Antelope Valley has been occupied by the First Peoples continuously for at least 12,000 years. In this richly illustrated slide lecture, Love takes the viewers to archaeological sites in and around the AV and shares with the audience the excitement of uncovering artifacts and features dating thousands of years into the past, while always remembering they did not disappear! Nothing drives our Native American colleagues crazier that to be spoken about in the past tense! This lecture introduces you to the tribes that lived here¬–and live here. Admission to the lecture is free, as is the exhibit “This Valley Is Sacred: The Ancestors Are Speaking” that is on display concurrently.
