CSUN senior photographer Ringo Chiu spent some time this month in the University Library documenting the work on a commemorative mural by artist Lindsay Carron. Carron won the CSUN University Library’s Tataviam Mural Competition to create a work of art that depicts the history of the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians. The work, called “The Continuum of Time,” is a collaborative effort that includes Carron, Tataviam tribal leadership and the university to honor the Tataviam and the tribal land upon which the university stands. Check out the mural’s progress in this photo gallery.
