At the north end of Cuvier Park in La Jolla you will find the above plaque. It’s set beside the sidewalk near the corner of Coast Boulevard and Cuvier Street.
A nearby boulder contains a pair of oval depressions, used long ago by the native Kumeyaay to grind acorns, seeds, roots and other food. The Kumeyaay call these grinding mortars ‘ehmuu, which means bedrock hole.
The boulder with its ancient history was restored to this location last year. It had been removed for a construction project. You can read about the Re-Internment of the Mortar That was Removed by the City by clicking here.
The plaque dedication ceremony included a Kumeyaay blessing and the performance of Bird Singers.
I took these photos during a walk today.
The sun was shining. Ocean waves crashed upon rocks a short distance from the place where I paused.
May the resiliency of the Kumeyaay forever be remembered.
