Please join us from 5-8 p.m. on Thursday, September 10 for our "Second Thursday at the Museum" event series at the Santa Ynez Chumash Museum and Cultural Center! Our featured speaker this month is award-winning author and filmmaker Gary Robinson.

Gary’s bibliography includes From Warriors to Soldiers, a history of American Indian military service; The Language of Victory, a history of Native American code talkers in WWI and WWII; the launch of the PathFinders imprint for Native Voices Books with the first teen novel to feature a contemporary Native teen as the main character; historical novel series Lands of our Ancestors; and most recently, the Thunder Child Prophecy series.

For this free after-hours event, Gary will be discussing his latest series – and the most ambitious project of his career - the Thunder Child Prophecy. The trilogy’s central character, Billy Buckhorn, is called upon to battle evil Underworld forces intent on invading and ruling the Middle World, and has been described as a “Native American Harry Potter.” Attendees will also be able to enjoy free museum admission to the Permanent Exhibit, Temporary Exhibit, and Cultural Park. Audio tours can be added to your experience for $10 per person.

Admission is free, and no reservation is required.

We hope to see you there!
