Anthropology students gain a passion for respecting the land they research on as they listened to indigenous archeologist Desire\u00e9 Rene\u00e9 Martinez talk about the parts of indigenous archeology on Mar. 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The presentation spoke on deconstructing what students knew about traditional archeology, teaching them new methods on how to respect the tribes who still live on California lands, specifically those of the Gabrielino Tongva Nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis presentation was so important and a way for us to spread awareness and to gain more knowledge about the other people who live on this earth with us,\u201d said Anthropology Club President Karla Ramirez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had a diverse amount of topics in this club, talking about greener aspects of anthropology, but also getting local perspectives and what within our community we can learn and preserve our culture here,\u201d said club member Devon Ingram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gabrielino Tongva Nation has lived in what’s known as the Greater Los Angeles Basin, since before documentation, but is still not recognized as a tribe by the federal government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe biggest thing is indigenous people still exist all over the United States, we are the one percent of the one percent, the Gabrielino Tongva tribe,\u201d said Martinez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martinez explained the ways anthropology students and those outside of the subject can better educate themselves and help the natives around their own local, as the tribe does not own any land federally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe actually were in contact with Long Beach City College in planting some of the plants that are needed, and some institutions are helping as well,\u201d said Martinez<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While most children learn the three R\u2019s of reduce, reuse, and recycle, Martinez taught the students what it means to the tribe instead to respect, recognize, and have responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne of our main goals as a club is to better understand not just the world around us but each other, respect,\u201d said Ramirez<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These steps were brought along with the eight portions of the indigenous archeology statements Martinez presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo you recognize that the indigenous people were here and are still here, and you respect that connection, and now it’s your responsibility to do what you can to keep those connections not severed,\u201d said Martinez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
