DESCRIPTION:A talk by historian Martin Rizzo-Martinez.\n\nWorking with primary 
 documents from the 19th century requires special considerations, including 
 the challenge of navigating historical bias inherent in the archives. These 
 challenges are particularly visible when dealing with the history of 
 Indigenous people. Drawing from years of research on Indigenous history in 
 local archives, this talk will explore local examples where historical 
 bias, built around both positive and negative stereotypes of the times, has 
 created conflicting archival documents, while suggesting strategies for 
 reading against the grain to better understand the complexities of these 
 histories.\n\nMartin Rizzo-Martinez is a historian and assistant professor 
 in the Film & Digital Media department at the University of California, 
 Santa Cruz. He is the author of a study of Indigenous peoples of the Santa 
 Cruz area, We are not Animals: Indigenous Politics of Survival, Rebellion, 
 and Reconstitution in Nineteenth-Century California. The talk will be 
 online. A Zoom link will be sent to registered participants.\n\nFree. The 
 talk will be online. Registration is required. A Zoom link will be sent to 
 all registered participants.\n\nA program of the San Lorenzo Museum.\n
