California Indian Museum and Cultural Center

The California Indian Museum and Cultural Center will create new resources for California teachers on the subject of California Indian history and culture, including the Spanish mission period, through a professional development Web site for K–12 teachers. The Web site will contain five storytelling podcasts by California Indians with interactive lesson plans, fourth-grade class project ideas, a social networking forum, and resources to provide new supplements to existing mission educational materials. The center will engage a tribal community curator, a six-member community advisory committee composed of community and academic subject matter experts, and five tribal informants.
