| Description: | In 1990, as a part of its annual Cultural Celebration, Thurgood Marshall College (then Third College) commissioned an exhibition at the Grove Gallery entitled Close to Home. The exhibit featured reproductions of photographs from the collection of the San Diego Museum of Man, taken in San Diego's Native American communities around 1900. As part of this year's UC San Diego California Native American Day Celebration, the college is remounting the exhibit and has retitled it, AKWAY NYEWA'A: Coming Back Home, in keeping with the theme of the celebration; to make Indian San Diego visible on our campus and UCSD accessible to tribal communities in our region. The exhibit will open at 6:00 p.m. on November 1, 2007, with a public reception and lecture, 100 Years of Silence, by Julie Holder, California Indian Basketweavers Association, and will continue at the Center for Library & Instructional Computing Services (CLICS), through the academic year.
