I Can Carry On from Here: The Relocation of American Indians to Los Angeles.

Blackhawk, Ned

WICAZO SA Review, v11 n2 p16-30 Fall 1995

Draws on experiences of American Indian women relocated to Los Angeles during the 1950s-60s to take part in Bureau of Indian Affairs job training and placement programs. These women faced the double burden of racial discrimination and white sex-role expectations, but adjusted to life in Los Angeles with the support of Indian community organizations. Includes extensive bibliography. (SV)
