Description
Cultural Anthropologist Stephen O'Neil to speak about: --What the Portola Expedition of 1769-70 observed when they came through, both the natural setting (very different from today) and the villages they stopped at; --Place names, both villages and topographic, that the Natives gave to the landscape, showing that this was a named cultural landscape and at the same time shows their knowledge of natural resources; --The Orange County Library's "Indigenous Voices" project to remind everyone that the Acjachemen and Tongva are still here and a part of the modern community.
