It lists teaching and reading materials such as texts ranging from federal documents to oral history projects as well as interviews with community leaders. Videos, links within the text, scanned artworks, and other sources are used consistently throughout the available and interactive maps for Los Angeles waterways, American Indian Health and Education Resources and Latin American Indigenous diaspora.<\/p>\n<p>Processes: The primary processing tool used is the ESRI Story Maps program through Arcgis, which is a geographic information mapping system available online for public use.<\/p>\n<p>Presentations: Each storymap includes accompanying text embedded with links to documents and terms referenced, further expanding the field of information made immediately web-accessible. One of the websites featured links available on the dashboard is \u201cCreate your own storymap\u201d where the hugely collaborative element of this project is encouraged all the more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mila.ss.ucla.edu\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-582\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/10\/MILAscreenshot-300x154.jpg\" alt=\"milascreenshot\" width=\"300\" height=\"154\" srcset=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/10\/MILAscreenshot-300x154.jpg 300w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/10\/MILAscreenshot-768x395.jpg 768w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/10\/MILAscreenshot-1024x527.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/10\/MILAscreenshot-1200x618.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/10\/MILAscreenshot.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A collaboration between the Digital Humanities department, faculty, and students at UCLA and community researchers and leaders, Mapping Indigenous Los Angeles is a website that makes visible and interactive through &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/2016\/10\/03\/mapping-indigenous-los-angeles\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Mapping Indigenous Los Angeles&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=580"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/580\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f16\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
