Native Snapshots: Native Americans' Movement Into the San Francisco Bay Area & Los Angeles
Snapshots in history show that Native people have moved from rural to urban areas at particular points in time. These time periods include, the great depression, World War II, as well as, the termination and relocation era of the 1950s and 1960s. While the Federal Government pushed assimilation policies, Native people sought to create new Inter-Tribal communities. In addition, Native Americans told their own stories through oral tradition, written documents and photographs which defined their own realities.
