UCLA Pimu Catalina Island Archaeological Field School

[Desiree Martinez]

We invite you to participate in the Pimu Catalina Island Archaeology Field School, a new
and innovative course that uses cutting edge scientific tools in a collaborative
research project with Tongva/Gabrielino tribal members, the Santa Catalina Island
Conservancy and the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA.

Beginning June 22, 2008 and ending July 25, 2008, the field school is especially
concerned with giving Native American community members and tribal cultural resource
personnel a foundation in archaeological methods, theories and laws while immersing them
in the 9,000 years of cultural history of the Tongva/Gabrielino nation. It is hoped each
participant will take this knowledge back to their community in order to efficiently and
effectively respond to and engage in archaeological research.

Partial scholarships are available. See
http://www.archaeology.ucla.edu/pdf/CatalinaFieldSchoolScholarshipFlyer.pdf for more
information and application materials.
