The place we call California, inhabited for millennia by Indigenous peoples, has also been influenced by the arrivals of peoples from Mexico, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Inspired by The Huntington’s “Borderlands” exhibition, this family-friendly event shows how the art and culture of this multicultural history created today’s beautifully diverse community.

• Learn from exhibition curators, noted authors, a tribal elder, a national park representative, and a cartographer about the art, music, and culture of Indigenous peoples, the healing power of national parks, and the fight to save the Joshua tree
• Engage in hands-on nature activities and exhibition touch stations
• Watch dancers express the traditions, customs, and history of local Indigenous peoples
• Meet some of California’s most intriguing animal ambassadors
• Explore “Borderlands,” a new permanent collections installation that presents a more expansive view of American art history
