Description

For thousands of years, California's Native peoples flourished long before Europeans arrived. When Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo reaches the shores of present-day San Diego in 1542, two worlds collide. Through the eyes of the Kumeyaay people, First Contact reveals the cultures, communities, and lives forever changed by the arrival of Europeans.
