SUMMARY:Lecture: “I May Still Be Speaking” - Indigenous Oral Tradition of Northern Baja California
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Michael Wilken-Robertson\, Anthropologist\nIndigenous people of northern Baja California share ancient cultural and linguistic ties with other Yuman groups of southern California and Arizona. Over the millennia\, native peoples developed richly elaborate cosmologies in which the earth\, sky\, plants\, and animals were infused with spirit; these narratives were passed along through myths\, legends\, stories\, and song. In this lively talk\, we will hear examples of storytelling from the Kumeyaay\, Paipai\, and Kiliwa peoples that Wilken-Robertson has worked with for over 40 years in Baja California. The narratives will be considered in their cultural context to help us better understand the meanings embedded in them and why the particular narratives passed down for generations remain compelling to listeners today. \nAnthropologist Michael Wilken-Robertson has developed lifelong collaborative relationships with native artists and traditional authorities to foster cultural revitalization and sustainable community development in northern Baja. He has taught in the anthropology department at California State University\, San Marcos. His fascination with native plants and the natural landscapes of the Californias have inspired him to explore the many ways that humans have interacted with their environments\, from the ancient past to the present. Michael resides in Ensenada\, Baja California\, Mexico. In the ABDNHA Library. GP $12\, M $10\, V $8. Register online\, or call us at 760-767-3098. \nRegister here for the program.
