La Quinta, CA - On Earth to Stay, an exhibit celebrating Native American Heritage month, will run November 6 through December 12, 2009 at La Quinta Museum, 77885 Avenida Montezuma, La Quinta, CA. The exhibit, presented by La Quinta Arts Foundation, La Quinta Historical Society and La Quinta Museum will be accompanied by a series of lectures, demonstrations and events, free to the public.

Salk’s painstaking research to accurately depict these designs has been recognized by the Museum of National History in Santa Barbara.
