SALINAN EXHIBIT CURRENTLY ON DISPLAY
We are privileged at the Cambria Historical Museum to invite and host the Salinan tribe of Central California to present their display currently at our venue. Yvonne Davis has prepared an attractive ex‐
hibit of maps, artifacts and mementos which depict the tribe’s heri‐
tage and legacy. A much larger, interactive and even more compre‐
hensive exhibit is on permanent display at Mission San Miguel on Highway 1 north of Paso Robles. August 15—Volunteer Appreciation Dinner 5PM October 1‐31 Scarecrow Festival www.cambriascarecrows.com October 11‐14‐

m Patty Dunton, representing the tribe “which is still here after 10,000 years” visited us with her mother Edna Burch, and brought us up to date about the families which are being considered for federal recog‐
nition after 20‐30 years of research. The application was submitted in December, 2011, with the assistance of Dr. Dan Krieger, Cal Poly pro‐
fessor emeritus of history, through their non‐profit organization, which is committed to preserve their culture and language. In addition to the Salinan exhibit, we have the Peter Aloysius Forres‐
ter on display in addition to many other interesting information about Cambria and the surrounding area. What's New in the Heritage Gardens? Elephant Garlic is popping up all over! Origins: Allium Ampeloprasum (onion family – it’s a leek – not garlic). The Sumerians depicted it in pictures as early as 1200 B.C. It grew in West Asia and Southern Europe.
