*	Do you work with students who have school projects dealing with
California Indians? 
*	Do you wish that you knew more about California Indian history? 
*	Does your library need more resources on California Indian history? 

If your answer to any of these questions is "yes," then you'll want to tune
in to this webinar.

The California Indians Historical Resources project was initiated through
the California Native American community's response to Early California Laws
<http://www.library.ca.gov/crb/02/14/02-014.pdf>  and Policies Related to
California Indians, a 2002 California State Library (CSL) report. Following
the report's publication, CSL representatives visited with tribal and public
government offices, libraries, education centers, cultural centers, parks,
and museums in over 27 counties to gather information on California's Native
American information resources. It became evident that access to
historically accurate materials surrounding California Indian history are
not readily available, and access to primary resource documents surrounding
early California History remain difficult to access. 

The California Indians Historical Resources Project produced three
self-contained databases: 

*	Early California Newspapers 1846-1866; 
*	Federal Documents Related to California Indians 1847-1868 & 1920; 
*	State of California Indian legislative History Documents 1849-1863 &
1937. 

Each of the databases is contained on a single CD. The 3-disc set will be
sent to all California public libraries through their Cooperative Library
System's delivery system. The set will be mailed to all California tribal
libraries. Individual libraries will determine the best way to make the
databases available to their users. Additional copies, for use in branches
or other locations, will be available for sale through the California State
Library Foundation, 1225 8th St., #345, Sacramento, CA 95814, (916)
447-6331, or at http://www.cslfdn.org. 

This workshop will provide participants with: 

*	A brief introduction to California Indian history; 
*	An overview of Primary Resource Documents that deal with historic
events surrounding the treatment of California Indians; 
*	A map and timeline demonstrating treaty land cessions, treaty
negotiations and legislation. 

Join us for an investigation of the treatment of Indians in California, and
Federal and State of California government relations with California Indians
through primary resource documents.
