SCV Historical Society
Who/What: The Santa Clarita Historical Society presents Ancient Enterprises: How the Prehistoric Tataviam survived and thrived in an ancient landscape.
Details: They were the earliest known inhabitants of the Santa Clarita Valley. A Native American tribe known as the Tataviam lived a life unchanged for centuries until a Spanish expedition led by Gaspar de Portola entered the Valley in 1769. From then on, life for the Tataviam would never be the same. The Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society will be hosting Dr. Laurie Solis, Adjunct Professor of Anthropology at College of the Canyons, and author of “Tataviam: People Who Face the Sun” , who will be giving a presentation on this little known Native American tribe. Admission is free.
Where: Old Town Newhall Library, 24500 Main St., in Newhall, California
