How California Was Won: Race, Citizenship, And The Colonial Roots Of California, 1846 – 1879 Abstract The construction of California as an American state was a colonial project premised upon Indigenous removal, state-supported land dispossession, the perpetuation of unfree labor systems and legal, race- based discrimination alongside successful Anglo-American settlement. This dissertation, entitled “How the West was Won: Race, Citizenship, and the Colonial Roots of California, 1849 - 1879” argues that the incorporation of California and its diverse peoples into the U.S. depended on processes of colonization that produced and justified an adaptable acialr hierarchy that protected white privilege and supported a racially-exclusive conception of citizenship. In the first section, I trace how the California Constitution and federal and state legislation violated the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This legal system empowered Anglo-American migrants seeking territorial, political, and economic control of the region by allowing for the dispossession of Californio and Indigenous communities and legal discrimination against Californio, Indigenous, Black, and Chinese persons.

The Spanish crown gave the Southern California lands of the Rancho San Pedro to Juan Jose Dominguez in 1784, and in 1858 the United States government granted a patent confirming Dominguez family ownership of the Rancho. A few items predate the 1858 patent, but the bulk of the collection is from 1880-1960. Some materials concern the Rancho San Pedro itself, including partitions of land among family members, farming, oil and water development, and legal issues with neighboring cities, including Los Angeles and Long Beach. Much of the collection comprises records of the business, water, and real estate companies established by Dominguez heirs in and around the Los Angeles area.

  • 3.5 Cultural Resources
    3.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES 3.5.1 Introduction This section analyzes the Program’s potential impacts on architectural, archeological, and paleolontogical resources, and human remains. The Environmental Setting (Section 3.5.2) provides an overview of the history of the Los Angeles area and the LAUSD. The applicable regulations section (Section 3.5.3) identifies federal, State and local laws, policies, and regulations relating to cultural and historical resources. The Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures section (Section 3.5.4) examines Program impacts and identifies feasible mitigation measures to reduce these impacts. 3.5.2 Environmental Setting Historical Context of the Los Angeles Area. The Los Angeles area has a rich and varied prehistoric past as well as a history that dates back to the 1700s. Prehistorically, the ancestors of the Gabrielino-Tongva occupied the entire Los Angeles Basin and practiced a hunters and gatherers form of survival. Small encampments to large village sites have been identified throughout the area, some dating back over 5,000 years. Historically, the occupation of Los Angeles County by non-natives began with the colonization of California, the expedition in 1769 to build a series of missions along the coast, and in 1781 when a group of 44 settlers founded the town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angel (El Pueblo de Nuestra Senor la Reina de Los Angeles de Prociuncula). This rich history has resulted in many significant archaeological and built environment resources within the Los Angeles area. Table 3.5-1 provides a chronology of key events in history for the greater Los Angeles basin.

  • 5-1 SECTION 5.1 INTRODUCTION the Conservation Element of The
    SECTION 5.1 INTRODUCTION The Conservation Element of the Rolling Hills Estates General Plan is concerned with the management of natural and cultural resources in the planning area. The Element identifies significant resources within the City and establishes a plan for their conservation, management, or preservation. The Conservation Element is a state-mandated element as required by regulations in Section 65302(d) of the California Government Code and the State Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA). The Element is intended to increase public awareness concerning the presence and condition of natural and cultural resources and to promote their conservation and management. The earth's resources are limited and often non-renewable. Ignorance, indifference and misuse could easily lead to their exploitation, destruction or neglect. As such, it is the City's responsibility to inform residents of the importance of local resources in relation to regional concerns. The City is empowered to regulate the use of certain local resources to prevent their destruction and exploitation and to ensure that conservation efforts are constant and equitable. Conservation includes the regulation of the extent of resource utilization, of the appropriate preservation techniques and of the conduct of activities which affect or preclude the use of resources. Natural resources in the planning area include water, air, and biotic resources. Cultural resources include historical , archeological and paleontological sites and structures. The City's conservation plan will consist of independent programs for the managed use of mineral resources, the maintenance of good air quality, the protection of native plant and animal life and the preservation of cultural resources.

  • Ethnohistoric South Gate?
    ETHNOHISTORIC SOUTH GATE? MARC A. BEHEREC AECOM A pervasive belief perpetuated by local histories in South Gate in southeast Los Angeles County is that the city was founded on the sites of the Gabrielino villages Ahau and Tibahangna. Ethnographers have also suggested Houtgna existed in South Gate. This study traces the Tibahangna and Ahau claims to a single source, evaluates all three place names, and finds none of these places were within the confines of the City of South Gate. However, evidence is revealed that at least one of the claims is based on an accidental archaeological discovery that, until now, was not documented in the archaeological literature. South Gate is a Massachusetts-shaped city in southeastern Los Angeles County. Just north of Interstate 105 and bisected by Interstate 710, it is bordered on the north by the unincorporated community of Walnut Park and the cities of Bell Gardens, Cudahy, and Huntington Park, on the west by the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles and unincorporated Willowbrook, on the south by the cities of Lynwood and Paramount, and on the east by the City of Downey. The modern bed of the Los Angeles River cuts through the city, which is located on the river’s flat alluvial floodplain. The city is located within the center of traditional territory of the Gabrielino (Johnston 1962; Kroeber 1925; McCawley 1996). The City of South Gate originated as the community of Southgate Gardens, which was developed as a white working-class suburb of Los Angeles beginning on September 3, 1917. The community originally consisted of 17 blocks bounded by Santa Ana Street (formerly Old Ranch Road) to the north, Independence Avenue to the south, Long Beach Boulevard to the west, and Garden View to the east (Bicentennial Heritage Committee 1976:8).

    GUIDE TO THE COLLECTIONS OF THE ARCHIVES AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS AT CSU DOMINGUEZ HILLS AND THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM ARCHIVES Archives Reading Room Compiled by Gregory L Williams Thomas Philo University Library, California State University Dominguez Hills @2012 University Library, California State University Dominguez Hills All photographs are from the Collections of the Archives and Special Collections Department, University Library, California State University Dominguez Hills. Cover photo: Archives and Special Collections Reading Room, CSUDH. 1933 Earthquake, Compton. Compton History Collection. The Collections at CSU Dominguez Hills The purpose of this Guide is to introduce or re-introduce the collections of the Archives and Special Collections at California State University Dominguez Hills to the students, faculty, the community and others who might have an interest in researching at CSUDH. The collections at CSUDH are part of a medium-sized Archive that is able (because of that size) to make its collections accessible for CSUDH students and the community in a quick and friendly manner. The collections the Archives holds are intentionally diverse and serve our students because we have the many kinds of materials---rare books, maps, letters, business records, photographs, manuscripts, reports, postcards, newspapers and films. While a good deal of this material is accessible on various websites, the collections listed in this Guide are usually not immediately accessible because some are yet to be completely cataloged. While the cataloging backlog at CSUDH is significantly smaller than other repositories, there can be a lag between the time collections are donated and when they are accessible in finding aids. The web version of this Guide will be updated whenever new collections are brought into the archives and it will serve as another access point for our collections…and it is hoped a resource for extensive future research.
