November 18, 2010 (San Diego) – The San Diego Women's History Museum will present a film showing on the life of Kumeyaay elder Anna Prieto Sandoval this Saturday, November 20th from noon to 4 p.m. Sandoval, the first woman chair of the Sycuan tribe, helped lead her people from poverty to prosperity and was instrumental in bringing Indian gaming to the reservation. She was inducted into the San Diego Women’s History Hall of Fame earlier this year. ECM has previously profiled the accomplishments of Sandoval, who died October 28th at age 76.
The Women’s History Museum has opted to cancel its annual Native American Heritage Celebration due to Sandoval’s passing and will instead present a film on her life as a tribute to her contributions to the community.
The San Diego Women’s History Museum is located at 2323 Broadway, Suite 107, in San Diego. 2323 Broadway Ste. 107, San Diego, California 92102
