Today in Strawberry Creek - We dove further into our research about California Indians, held a class meeting with lively discussions about class pets (yes, the conversation has started again), and the Zones of Regulation.  More to come on that soon.

 Researching websites of California Indian tribes and bands.

 Locating what region, modern cities and geographic landmarks are within the original tribal areas.  Students discovered that some tribes joined with others and do not necessarily live in the same areas today.  We also noticed a gap between L.A. and S.F. along the Mission chain where very few tribes have a presence today.

Students explored the websites to discover how the websites can be used.   Similar to a city website, the tribal sites often had links to current political issues, community events, civil service and historical information.
