San Diego County Library and CA Native Americans

San Diego County Library's webpage acknowledges the presence of California nations in the state. I saw a posting on the California Library Association CALIX distribution list recently and it highlighted the SDCL page for Native American Day which is the fourth Friday of every September in California.

The Four Directions Institute looked interesting to me in that it has a page which highlights the languages of many California nations - so relevant to non-traditionial forms of "literacy" i.e. the oral tradition.

and the library site has links to 8 California tribal websites
There are other resources and links.
San Diego County Library seems to be in sync with ALA President Roy's platform on Celebrating Community, Collaboration, and Culture!
Have fun looking it over!

Thanks to SDCL Polly Cipparrone for posting on the CALIX list.
