Heather's Comments
[edit]10/2- I hope it's okay that I edited this heading. I want to be able to leave you feedback and I noted which page you're working on below. Interesting! So the story about local tribes being pushed to their death has been tagged as "fabricated event lacking credibility"? Is that right? So are you going to try and verify that and remove it or verify it? You might even try Snopes or other myth busting websites.
If Nathan is slow to get back to you, reach out to Rachel, our librarian, via Inbox in Canvas and see if she can connect you with some sources. Finally, please go back to the three GALE sources and find the citation (author, title, date). No one off campus can access your links and anyway, you'll need the citation to add to the main Wikipedia page eventually. Copy and paste the part of the page you'll be updating and make sure to make changes here and not on the main page just yet.
10/13- I can't tell what you've updated for the week ending 10/6. I'll be happy to update your score once you let me know in your worklog. :)
10/25- Hmmm. When I look at the page for California Genocide, reference 8 is Norton, Jack. Genocide in Northwestern California: 'When our worlds cried'. Indian Historian Press, 1979. and not Mission San Diego Alcala, as you not below. So I wonder what you mean? Can you clarify so I or our librarian can help you improve this source? Overall this is looking good!
10/31- Right. That source: "The military district of San Diego" won't support the part about military housing...so I think you've hit a dead end and won't be able to improve that particular citation. Where do you see the "started population" table below. Also, it seems incomplete as a table (lists only three tribes), but maybe you could insert these numbers with citations in the text. Do you have an idea about where?
Use what you found to update citations and make any other changes by this Sunday 11/3. Thanks!

Hello Heather. I published my changes to the main page on 11/03/19. I got so excited to tell you about the symposium I went to that I forgot to write it out in my log. Thanks for any credit I might get for late work.

Attended a workshop seminar https://www.facebook.com/events/844836789245177/. I took in the first couple hours of the event. Got to listen to Ishi's voice recorded on an Edison Cylinder,If you would like to hear it, I can send you a link to the video I took. It would not let me post it here. (sad face)
I also got a lead on a historian that is an expert on the local groups of our area. Looking forward to reaching out to her in another attempt to find information about the rumor I heard.

In response to your feedback on 10/25, I can see the source of the confusion. The citation I was searching for is in this text.
The Spanish built San Diego de Alcalá, the first of 21 missions, at what developed as present-day San Diego in the southern part of the state along the Pacific. Military outposts were constructed alongside the missions to house the soldiers sent to protect the missionaries.[citation needed]
I then researched Mission San Diego de Alcalá, and on this page I hoped to find pertinent information on the subject. This seemed like a winner.
- "The military district of San Diego embraced the Missions of San Diego, San Luis Rey, San Juan Capistrano, and San Gabriel..."
This was the eighth reference on the de Alcalá, and the citation was from this book, Engelhardt 1920, pp. v, 228
https://archive.org/details/sandiegomission00engeuoft/page/228
The page is only of a map which shows locations of the missions and military installations. After searching Engelhardt book with a few different key word strategies, I was unable to make the connection to this specific sentence.
"Military outposts were constructed alongside the missions to house the soldiers sent to protect the missionaries"
Any Ideas?

Inserted photo from commons of a man from the Chumash people.
Changed 20,000 to 10,000
Added the citation.
Prior to Spanish arrival, California was home to an indigenous population estimated at 300,000.[discuss] The largest group were the Chumash people, with a population around 10,000.[1] The region was highly diverse, with numerous distinct languages spoken. While there was great diversity in the area, archaeological findings show little evidence of inter-tribal conflicts.[2]

(A) Met with Heather to get back on track.
(B) Met with Rachel Arteaga in the Library to look for citations, and local historians, in hope to find evidence of the rumor I heard about Phantom Falls. Rachel pointed me to an archive at Chico State for some leads. Rachel is very helpful.
1. Found a book in the reference section Handbook Of The Indians Of California
2. Citation, Kroeber, A. L. Handbook of the Indians of California. Dover Publications, 1976. P883
3. I found the claim in the wiki article to be different, this book states a population of 10,000 not 20,000.
4. The second citation needed I chose to search for, I could not find. Mission San Diego de Alcalá#cite ref-8 I did find this cite from a wiki article, that should have yielded results but the PAGE NUMBER DID NOT MATCH THE INFORMATION. https://archive.org/details/sandiegomission00engeuoft/page/228 This is a link to the book and page cited, and as you can see, it is a picture. I searched the book for the relevant information and did not find it.

Thanks for the feedback and advice.

Hello Heather. During the Rosa Parks assignment, I started to think about what was taught in school about Mrs. Parks. Even did a little research and found that story has been downplayed in history and started thinking about other topics that that may have been dismissed in history books that I grew up with. While Hiking Table Mountain, Phantom Falls, I learned about a story, a group of Native Americans pushed off the edge, falling hundreds of feet to their death. Since then, I have been interested in finding some kind of written account of this incident, and have learned about the California Trail of Tears among other stories of our local history. Recently I met Nathan Heck, Program Director of the Native Youth Community Projects. Heck offered to point me in a direction to obtain reference material that I can evaluate for the article.
The California Genocide article has 57 citations. All the links I tried worked. There is a hotlink colored red that lands on a Wikipedia page not created yet and appears to be a suggestion for a bio page. On the talk page, the article is rated start-class and is of mid-importance. The scope of the article is within the guidelines of Wikiproject California and has been reviews by the Wikiproject Articles for Creation. A tag has been created "fabricated event lacking credible sources." and a request for speedy deletion has been made, mostly pointing to the name of the article being a newly coined phrase. I found three things to read over and look for more information to add to the article, and am looking forward to speaking with Nathan.
