8542 Quiroste Mural, detail father and son

Dancing at Quiroste is staged at the ancient ceremonial site "Quiroste", inland site of Ano Nuevo, north coast of Santa Cruz county.

It celebrates details from Portola's diaries who chronicled  his stay with the Indians in 1700's. Redwood huts were made from the dramatic stand of redwoods at the site.  The detail of a native woman preparing the acorn mush has been blown up and surrounded by a shade shelter for this traveling natural history show "Shaped By Water".
