Responding to my recent post on IEFA resources for high school students and teachers, Brian Shovers wrote: “You might want to take a look at a recent interview by Bill Moyers of Sherman Alexie (Spokane Indian poet/writer) on PBS entitled, “Living Outside Tribal Lines.”
In “Resources for Teaching about the Gold Rush,” I provided links to information and lesson plans on Montana’s Chinese. Ellen Baumler pointed me toward two good additional sources:
- An article she published that addresses some myths and gives a good, short overview of Chinese in Montana, and
- a lecture she gave at Fort Missoula, "Montana's Chinese: Our Forgotten Pioneers," that is posted on YouTube
Butte historian Richard Gibson, who’s the mastermind behind the Mai Wah’s blog, has also started a blog for the World Museum of Mining.
Because this is a sort of hodge-podge post, I thought it would be ok to throw in a site related to no recent posting, but which I thought was cool: Lost and Found Montana, a website with videos about 18 towns the Montana Department of Transportation wanted to take off the map.
Happy surfing.
Don't neglect the excellent film "Thousand Pieces of Gold" and the PBS materials at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/goldrush/peopleevents/p_chinese.html and www.pbs.org/becomingamerican/ce_resources3.html , and this APA history paper www.jacl.org/edu/APAHistory.pdf
