Join host Elsa Sevilla as she travels to an Indigenous People of the Kumeyaay Nation's village in San Diego's far-east county. Find out how the First People, during Pre-contact, are: astronomers, horticulturists, healers, scientists and storytellers. We'll explain how they use the solar system to hunt, harvest and how they follow the weather patterns to relocate their Sha'muls or communities throughout their traditional territory.
