DATE: ___5/4/2020_______________ ________Cory J. O’Gorman_______ Name iii Survey of Quercus kelloggii at Pepperwood Preserve: identifying specimen oaks to reimplement traditional ecological knowledge and promote ecosystem resilience Thesis by Cory James O’Gorman Abstract Purpose of the Study: California black oak, Quercus kelloggii, plays an important role in the lifeways of many indigenous tribes throughout California. Native peoples tend black oaks using Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) to encourage the development and proliferation of specimen oaks. These mature, large, full crowned trees provide a disproportionate amount of ecosystem services, including acorns and habitat, when compared to smaller black oaks. Altered approaches to land management and the cessation of frequent low intensity cultural burns places these specimen oaks at risk from encroachment, forest densification, and catastrophic fire. Procedure: This project is a collaboration between Sonoma State University and the Native Advisory Council of Pepperwood Preserve.

Marks: Sheep Replace Pronghorn Sheep Replace Pronghorn: An Environmental History of the Mono Basin Robert B. Marks1 Environmental history examines the relationships of humans to the natural environment. It is concerned with understanding the environmental circumstances that condition the ways in which humans are able to obtain their subsistence, and the extent to which the ways they do so changes the environment. Sometimes humans have a very light, and ultimately sustainable, touch on the environment, and sometimes their environmental impact is heavy and not sustainable, threating the environmental underpinnings of human societies. To gauge the history of human impact on the environment, a major task is reconstructing past environments. Written sources are useful, but when they are missing or silent, archeological and paleobotanical findings can be used.

Gutteriez, Jessica J. Lackey, and M. Kat Anderson Many tribes in California and Oregon value California black oak (Quercus kelloggii) as a traditional source of (Patagioenas fasciata) (Gleeson et al. 2012); food and other values. Over centuries or millennia, Native Americans learned that they could enhance production and many predators that consumed acorn- of desired resources by regularly igniting low-intensity surface fires in stands of black oak. Although black oak eating birds and small mammals, including is likely to remain widespread in the future, a warming climate, increasingly dense forests, and altered fire fsher (Pekania pennanti, an omnivorous regimes threaten the large, full-crowned mature trees that produce crops of high-quality acorns and provide mammal in the weasel family) and spotted cavities for many wildlife species. To examine the effects of different kinds of burns on tribal values including owl (Strix occidentalis) (Long et al. 2016). associated plants, fungi, and wildlife of special cultural significance, we reviewed and synthesized scientific Native Americans actively managed studies of black oak in conjunction with interviews and workshops with tribal members who use the species and oak stands for centuries or millennia, with recall burning by their ancestors. We conducted two exploratory analyses to understand trends in large black families gathering and storing thousands of oaks and potential tradeoffs regarding black oak restoration. Our findings identify opportunities for reintro- pounds of acorns (Anderson 2005).

  • Re-Indigenizing Spaces: How Mapping Racial Violence Shows the Interconnections Between
    “Re-Indigenizing Spaces: How Mapping Racial Violence Shows the Interconnections Between Settler Colonialism and Gentrification” By Jocelyn Lopez Senior Honors Thesis for the Ethnic Studies Department College of Letters and Sciences Of the University of California, Berkeley Thesis Advisor: Professor Beth Piatote Spring 2020 Lopez, 2 Introduction Where does one begin when searching for the beginning of the city of Inglewood? Siri, where does the history of Inglewood, CA begin? Siri takes me straight to the City History section of the City of Inglewood’s website page. Their website states that Inglewood’s history begins in the Adobe Centinela, the proclaimed “first home” of the Rancho Aguaje de la Centinela which housed Ignacio Machado, the Spanish owner of the rancho who was deeded the adobe in 1844. Before Ignacio, it is said that the Adobe Centinela served as a headquarters for Spanish soldiers who’d protect the cattle and springs. But from whom? Bandits or squatters are usually the go to answers. If you read further into the City History section, Inglewood only recognizes its Spanish and Mexican past. But where is the Indigenous Tongva-Gabrielino history of Inglewood? I have lived in Inglewood all of my life. I was born at Centinela Hospital Medical Center on Hardy Street in 1997. My entire K-12 education came from schools under the Inglewood Unified School District. While I attend UC Berkeley, my family still lives in Inglewood in the same house we’ve lived in for the last 23 years. Growing up in Inglewood, in a low income, immigrant family I witnessed things in my neighborhood that not everyone gets to see.
