Acorn Preparation: A Fun Learn-By-Doing Workshop with Kumeyaay Instructors

Tecate Community Museum, Tecate, Baja Mexico (U.S. side meeting location - In front of Baja Duty Free - 404 Tecate Rd, Tecate, California 91980)

Acorn Preparation Workshop 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Have you ever seen acorns on the ground under oak trees in the fall and wondered how native peoples turn them into nourishing food?

Join us for a rare opportunity to learn, directly from local Kumeyaay cultural specialists, all the steps in the preparation of this important food that has sustained native communities for thousands of years.

The $60 cost directly supports our Kumeyaay teachers and includes a delicious lunch. Beautiful hand-made Kumeyaay baskets will be used in the process and will be available for purchase directly from the artisans. The event includes a talk by anthropologist Michael Wilken-Robertson, author of "Kumeyaay Ethnobotany."
