User:Brad.R.J/California Genocide

Hello Heather. During the Rosa Parks assignment, I started to think about what was taught in school about Mrs. Parks. Even did a little research and found that story has been downplayed in history and started thinking about other topics that that may have been dismissed in history books that I grew up with. While Hiking Table Mountain, Phantom Falls, I learned about a story, a group of Native Americans pushed off the edge, falling hundreds of feet to their death. Since then, I have been interested in finding some kind of written account of this incident, and have learned about the California Trail of Tears among other stories of our local history. Recently I met Nathan Heck, Program Director of the Native Youth Community Projects. Heck offered to point me in a direction to obtain reference material that I can evaluate for the article.

The California Genocide article has 57 citations. All the links I tried worked. There is a hotlink colored red that lands on a Wikipedia page not created yet and appears to be a suggestion for a bio page. On the talk page, the article is rated start-class and is of mid-importance. The scope of the article is within the guidelines of Wikiproject California and has been reviews by the Wikiproject Articles for Creation. A tag has been created "fabricated event lacking credible sources." and a request for speedy deletion has been made, mostly pointing to the name of the article being a newly coined phrase. I found three things to read over and look for more information to add to the article, and am looking forward to speaking with Nathan.
