NAISA Tenth Annual Meeting, May 17-19, 2018 Program 'Aweeshkore Xaa, 'Ekwaa'a Xaa (We Are Happy You Are Here) NAISA Tenth Annual Meeting, May 17-19, 2018 Program 'Aweeshkore xaa, 'ekwaa'a xaa (We are happy you are here) The American Indian Studies Center at University of California, Los Angeles and its Southern California co-hosts welcome NAISA, the largest scholarly organization devoted to Indigenous issues and research, to Yaanga (Downtown Los Angeles area) on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Gabrieliño/Tongva. Los Angeles is home to the largest Indigenous populations in the US. It is our aim to highlight the incredibly rich landscape of Indigenous Los Angeles at NAISA 2018. Our meeting is set in downtown on what used to be the villages of Yaanga before Tongva dispossession. As the city grew, so did Indigenous populations in Los Angeles. Many American Indians, Latin American Indigenous peoples, Alaskan Natives, and Native Hawaiians have come to the rich land of the Gabrieliño/Tongva for a variety of reasons, whether it was from following the rich trade of sea otters, fishing or whaling, or being driven from their homes by the economic tyranny of federal Indian policy, or fleeing persecution of the Mexican government against Indigenous peoples. Many from the Pacific and Global South would follow and make Los Angeles their home. To learn more about the history of Tongva land and how these communities have made their home in LA, we invite you to visit Mapping Indigenous LA’s website where you will find storymaps and more information: https://mila.ss.ucla.edu. Extending out from LA and into the Southern California region, there are nineteen federally recognized tribes and hundreds more. We provide more information about the amazing community sites for you to visit on our conference website. Also, there are a plethora of culturally rich museums that hold important archives of Indigenous knowledge as well as contemporary work on the day before and after the conference. Many have opened their doors just for our scholarly community. Please also note the special UAII exhibit at These Days, a poetry event with acclaimed and award winning poets, and the artists who will be making new work during the conference at 118 Winston St. Graduate events will include hand games at the luncheon and a VIP Night out at club Nokia for Graduate student spaces! Today we meet as communities to learn from each other, devise anti-colonial strategies and ignite conversations about a decolonial future. NOTE ABOUT THIS PROGRAM This is the final program.

  • 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.

  • COMM 360: the Rhetoric of Los Angeles
    1 COMM 360: The Rhetoric of Los Angeles Fall 2012: Monday/Wednesday, 10 - 11:50 am, ASC 228 Professor Vincent Brook Office Hours: M/W 9 – 9:50 am, ASC 333 Phone: 213-821-1542 (O); 323-663-7641 (H); 323-379-7370 (C) Email: [email protected] (use this, NOT my USC address) TA: TBA COURSE DESCRIPTION: Yaanga, Yang-na, Yabit, El Pueblo Nuestra Senora de la Reina de Los Angeles del Rio Porciuncula, City of Angels, City of Chaos, Sunshine City, Sin City, City of Desire, City of Dreams, City of Quartz, City of Blight, Bright and Guilty Place,The White Spot, La La Land, City of the Future, City of Forgetting, City of Lies, Equivocal City, the Enormous Village, Chamelion Metropolis, Postmodern Metropolis Par Excellence . Los Angeles has been called all these things and more—out of pride, envy, hype, hubris, fear, denial, love, disgust, mis- and in-comprehension. This course will exhume the many faces, facets, and feces of Los Angeles by looking at the Indian- village-turned-multicultural-megalopolis as a rhetorical text—that is, the geographical and historical aspects of Los Angeles will be explored in relation to their vast, complex and often contradictory discursive constructions (in literature, film, television, architecture, music, politics, etc.). The course is divided into four main parts. Part 1 examines the early written histories of Los Angeles, from the imagined community’s origins as a pre-Columbian settlement to its emergence as a major American metropolis in the early 20th century. Part 2 intersects LA’s story with that of Hollywood, which as geographical site and generic term for the culture industry is itself an uncanny combination of reality and myth.

  • The City Is Divided Into Many Neighborhoods, Many of Which Were Towns That Were Annexed by the Growing City
    The city is divided into many neighborhoods, many of which were towns that were annexed by the growing city. There are also several independent cities in and around Los Angeles, but they are popularly grouped with the city of Los Angeles, either due to being completely engulfed as enclaves by Los Angeles, or lying within its immediate vicinity. Generally, the city is divided into the following areas: Downtown Los Angeles, Northeast - including Highland Park and Eagle Rock areas, the Eastside, South Los Angeles (still often colloquially referred to as South Central by locals), the Harbor Area, Hollywood, Wilshire, the Westside, and the San Fernando and Crescenta Valleys. Some well-known communities of Los Angeles include West Adams, Watts, Venice Beach, the Downtown Financial District, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Hollywood, Hancock Park, Koreatown, Westwood and the more affluent areas of Bel Air, Benedict Canyon, Hollywood Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Brentwood. [edit] Landmarks Important landmarks in Los Angeles include Chinatown, Koreatown, Little Tokyo, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Kodak Theatre, Griffith Observatory, Getty Center, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Hollywood Sign, Hollywood Boulevard, Capitol Records Tower, Los Angeles City Hall, Hollywood Bowl, Watts Towers, Staples Center, Dodger Stadium and La Placita Olvera/Olvera Street. Downtown Los Angeles Skyline of downtown Los Angeles Downtown Los Angeles is the central business district of Los Angeles, California, United States, located close to the geographic center of the metropolitan area.

  • Our Sacred Waters: Theorizing Kuuyam As a Decolonial Possibility
    Decolonization: Indigeneity, Education & Society Vol 7., No 1, 2018, pp. 40-58 Our Sacred Waters: Theorizing Kuuyam as a Decolonial Possibility Charles Sepulveda University of Utah Abstract This essay evaluates the conditions of the desecrated Santa Ana River in southern California, historicizes its destruction, assesses what is being done to clean it up, and provides tradition as theory to offer an approach to a solution that re-centers a Native view of land. The essay provides a tribal specific, Acjachemen and Tongva, understanding of lands and waters in contradiction to the Western dynamic of submission central to the dual logic of heteropatriarchy and environmental dispossession. It also provides a historical analysis of the monjerio and traces the colonial logic of domesticating Native women. The Santa Ana River is the largest riparian ecosystem in southern California. The river has been domesticated and desecrated through channelizing and entombing sections in concrete. This essay theorizes that the Western understanding of nature separated from humans produced the heteropatriarchal system the Spanish brought with them to California. This structure was meant to naturalize patriarchy and have Indians submit to the nuclear family arrangement. These logics continue into the present, in contrast to Indigenous traditional ways of life that accepted plural partnerships, and various sexual orientations. It also attempted to disconnect California Mission Indians from their creation stories and the sacredness of water. Kuuyam, the Tongva word for guests, is offered as a decolonial possibility based on culture and tradition in which settler relations to land can be reformed and settler colonialism can eventually be abolished.
