Add Review/Comment

Tongva cultural bearer, Barbara Drake leads a hands-on workshop highlighting the Native American Winter Solstice. Participants will create an art project, view Native American constellations from around the United States in the “Starlab” and view the stars out that night through a powerful telescope, weather permitting. Solstice, the longest night of the year, usually occurs around December 21. It is a time of transition, of looking back at the old year and looking forward to the new. Many cultures around the world have celebrated the winter solstice for hundreds, even thousands of years as they watched the days grow shorter and waited for the sun to return. In their own ways, Native Americans honor the cycle of life, endings and new beginnings as their ancestors did before them. Clean socks are suggested to be worn by all participants wanting to enter the "Starlab."
