Native American Program
 Beginning with a visit to the native plants garden, a kitchen midden, ancient grinding holes, and, finally, viewing the wide sweep of the Morro Bay Estuary from the top of White’s Points, students will understand the ingenuity of the Chumash and Salinan cultures in modifying and adapting to the local environment. In the Learning Center, docents display and discuss many artifact replicas to explain the everyday activities of Central Coast Native Americans.
 Interacting with the museum's new habitat exhibits, students will experience the four ecosystems impacting the lives of the local Chumash people. In addition, students will try their hand at Native American crafts. In small activity groups they will grind acorns, paint rocks, paint faces, (after preparing paints from natural pigments), string beads, and operate a pump drill used to make shell money.
The Native American Program is available year-round and is available for grades 3 and up.
