Oral traditions and testimonials play an important role in understanding or engaging history. and they reveal important aspects of history, especially when it comes to confronting problems or aspects of Native histories and cultures. For the purposes of this assignment consider “Bridges” by Deborah Miranda (Esselen/Chumash) and “Kelsey Was His Name” with Mildred Duncan (Pomo) to testimonials by California Indian women.
Use the following questions to help you in framing a critical response based on the sources for this assignment:
What do we learn about California Indian history from the testimonial by Deborah Miranda? From Mildred Duncan? Where aspects of their testimonials included in history courses you have taken previously (high school, college, etc.)?
Are Governor Newsome’s apology and the establishment of the Truth and Healing Council positive steps forward? Why or why not?
Be sure to give your response a title. A good title communicates a main point or idea.
Your paper should have a minimum of four citations. When quoting or referring to main points or themes in the readings you can include author and page number (Miranda, page 55). When quoting or referring to an important idea from a video or audio file you can cite in minutes and seconds (Duncan, 1:23 ).
Pay attention to sentence structure and allow time to proofread.
