Celebrate Native American Month at the Barona Cultural Center & Museum. Experience the award-winning exhibit featuring the short film "Nya’waap Illyuw Uuchyuwp – Our Way of Knowing" and see "Sinyohow Haawaakm ‘Aaknach [Sin-yo-how Haa-waa-km Aak-nach]," the newest film in the Kumeyaay Philosophy Series. Join Sinyohow [Sin-yo-how] as she teaches her twin boys how to care for the creatures around them and each other. This second film in the series brings to life the traditional teachings and oral histories of the Barona people. These stories were told to teach lessons on how to live well and be good members of the community. Barona Museum has worked tirelessly over the past eight years to bring these important stories back to the Kumeyaay community and the public. Much of this knowledge had been lost due to the consequences of colonization and genocide. Visit the Barona Cultural Center & Museum to experience the Kumeyaay way of knowing. Barona Museum is open Wednesday to Friday noon to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free. Barona Cultural Center & Museum on Facebook
