PANEL 1: San Gabriel Valley pre-Mission time period
What the early Spanish explorers would have seen when they first saw the Gabrielino

TONGVA-GABRIELINO CREATION STORY In the Tongva creation story, like all creation stories, in the beginning there was
chaos. From this chaos emerged the one god, Quaoar. He was sorrowed by the emptiness in existence and began to dance, whirl, and twirl all about while he sang the Song of Creation. Out of this melody began to form other beings - first was the god of sky, Weywot. Next emerged Chehooit, who became Goddess of the Earth. These two new deities joined in the dance and created the Grandfather Sun and Grandmother Moon, Tamit and Moar.
Together the 5 gods danced and sang, and as each unique divine being joined in, the song became more complex and intricate. Soon the Goddess of the Sea, Manit, and the Lord of dreams and visions, Manisar, were created; and when they joined in the Bringer of Foods and Harvests, Tukupar Itar, was manifested, and then Tolmolak, the Sky Coyote, and finally Shishongna, the Goddess of the Underworld, joined in the singing.
These divine beings danced and sang together, creating everything else into existence: they furnished the world with hills, mountains, trees, and rivers. They sang into existence the plants and animals, and finally the first man and the first woman to walk the physical plane.
