October 28 – November 1

Theme: Meet the GABRIELINOS

This week we remain south in the Channel Islands to meet the Gabrielinos who arrived on the scene much later than the Chumash, but who were able to settle a very large area including the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valleys, as well as San Clemente and Catalina Islands. The Gabrielinos are also known as the Tongva, a pre-historic name being reintroduced by descendents.

HELD OVER - This weeks DIG continues to introduce your students to the Gabrielinos – and encourages hands-on follow-up activities.
