This series is comprised of interviews that were conducted by students in the American Indian Studies and/or Women's Studies programs at CSULB. With one exception, the interviews are of women; and although the narrators came from different parts of North American, they all ended up in Southern California. There is not a single focus for these interviews, but several of the narrators describe their family's adherence to indigenous culture when they were growing up. Issues surrounding racism and deculturation, including the Indian boarding school experience, also figure prominently, especially in the shorter interviews with Carol Niedo and Corinne Saiers and the life history interview with Christine Scillens. Their experiences contrast sharply with Marilyn Robinson, who was raised on a reserve in Canada and attended public high school. These four women were all very involved in the promotion of American Indian studies. Several of them also reference the occupation of Alcatraz, which is the focus of Carol Miller's relatively short interview. The interviews with Joseph Moreno, Marilyn Robinson and Christine Scillens are all longer, life histories. Moreno, the older, sole male narrative in the series recounts his experiences during the Mexican Revolution; Marilyn Robinson iscusses the Indian women's groups in which she was involved and her role in promoting American Indian studies and curriculum; and Christine Scillens talks about her experience in the WACs during WWII.
