Visit Native California Spotlight: Barona Cultural Center and Museum

Meet Steve Banegas from the Barona Band of the Kumeyaay, and the Chair of the Barona Museum Committee. The Barona Cultural Center and Museum is teaching the true history of the land it is located on in San Diego County, and sowing the seeds of philosophy of the original people of that land through their school and exhibit. Visitors are invited to come learn the perspective from the shore rather than from the ship through the museum, seed library, and garden at Barona. — The Visit Native California content series aims to shine a spotlight on the many different ways visitors can learn about, and learn from, the state’s 100+ tribes. From museums to guided tours to attractions at state and national parks, there are countless ways to experience Native American culture in the Golden State. This video is presented by Visit California and was filmed on the ancestral lands of the Kumeyaay.
