students at indian rock

We’re looking at my students blogs today, so I’m posting a photos of them from a fieldtrip to the Indian Rock Native Garden site near CSUSM. Greg Rubin, native landscape designer, joined us that day, and the San Luis Rey Band of Luiseño Indians’ Tribal Council and members once again generously provided dinner for all the students from my Advanced Digital Arts class and Joely Proudfit’s Sociology class. Indian Rock Native Garden is a sacred site, used in the past for Luiseño girls’ coming-of-age ceremonies. The pictographs on the rock have been tagged with blue and white graffiti, but the site still has an extraordinary power and beauty.
