The first lecture will be held on Thursday, November 1, 2007 in the Song Wong Borbeau Room of the Sonoma County Museum.
Speaking on "The Southern Pomo, the Franciscan Missions, and Mariano Vallejo" will be Dr. Randall Milliken, PhD. Dr. Milliken is an anthropologist at UC Davis. |
Dr. Milliken's 1990 dissertation was revised to be read by the public and published as A Time of Little Choice: The Disintegration of Tribal Culture in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1769-1810 (Menlo Park, Cal.: Ballena Press, 1995). Milliken's premise is that in many geographic areas around the mission there came a time when native people realized that they faced little choice but to enter the mission. This work is based on documents written at the time. Milliken's contribution is an encyclopedia of Indian prehistoric villages of the San Francisco Bay region. He placed village locations on a map using dates retrieved from birth, death and baptismal records. |
