DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of wonder, beauty and surprise about the art, 
 craft and practices of our oldest native ancestors who walked the land we 
 now call Berkeley—and how those traditions live on today. In this premier 
 public viewing, objects from the West Berkeley Shellmound and Emeryville 
 Shellmound will be shared for the first time—many of stunning 
 beauty.\n\nA panel of contemporary Native California artists, skilled in 
 traditional practices, will discuss how these objects were made, the 
 aesthetic principles that guided their manufacture, how they were used, 
 their place within the culture, and their survival to this day. Panelists
