Link List
Four interesting links from the web. This week: mapping history, outdoor movies, and proof that you’re never too young to teach activism.
1) From the News: Mapping the Tongva villages of L.A.’s past
One cool thing I have seen done in education is listening to presenters do a “land acknowledgement” to recognize the indigenous people who inhabited the land before colonization. In Claremont, the original inhabitants of the land were the Tongva people. The Tongva inhabited the Los Angeles Basin and the Southern Channel Islands. Here is a map that shows the villages of the Tongva, as shared in the LA Times: https://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-tongva-map/
2) Currently Reading: A is for Activist
I love getting children’s books for friends that they and their children can both enjoy. A is for Activist definitely fits into that category:

3) On the Calendar: Family Movie Night @ Claremont Club
I am a member of the Claremont Club. I also love outdoor movies, so this is really just the best of both worlds! Must be a member to attend:

4) On the Shopping List:
“Introverted Mom” by Jamie C. Martin
My partner and I don’t have kids yet, but I have a sneaky feeling she would like this book a lot.
