Ewaa

This is a traditional Kumeyaay hut that was built for  the mission by a Kumeyaay descendant. It is made of willow branches and intricately woven. It provided shelter for a family of four. Since the Kumeyaay were seasonally nomadic, they would burn these down when it was time to move to the mountains in the warmer months. They would rebuild them in their new location.
