"Native Americans of Topanga Beach"

What was Topanga like 1,000 years ago? On Wednesday, February 13, local historian Pablo Capra will share new research he recently published in the "Messenger Mountain News" about a forgotten Native American burial mound that was discovered at Topanga Beach in 1910 and paved over by PCH in 1923.

A mysterious world emerges of men with horns, dwarfs, giants, Aztec invasions, and smoking mountains. There are also fascinating stories about the burial mound's original discoverers: a class of Stanford students, a Wisconsin artifact-collector, a Civil War colonel, and a family of squirrels.
