]]> Comment on Cradle Boards and Having an Opinion by Christine http://penn.museum/blog/fun-friday-image-of-the-week/cradle-boards-and-having-an-opinion/comment-page-1/#comment-2652 Christine Thu, 19 Apr 2012 23:21:27 +0000 http://pennmuseumarchives.wordpress.com/?p=211#comment-2652 I really enjoyed this article. The Pomo children in the third photo are the sister and brother of my maternal great grandfather, Williams (Bill) Mitchell. He was forced to attend boarding school as a child and the prejudices he suffered had a large impact, I think, on the way that he raised his children, including my maternal grandmother. They were taught that their Native ancestry was shameful, therefore they failed to keep our Pomo culture and language alive. I really enjoyed this article.

Annie was born in 1898, William in 1901, and Clement in 1904 according to U.S. Indian Census Rolls from the early 1900s. Can anyone tell me who took this photograph? I am hoping that I may be able to locate more pictures of my Yokaia Pomo ancestors. Thank you, and please feel free to email me: tangerinechristine@gmail.com Annie and Clement Mitchell (in the photograph) are the brother and sister of my maternal great grandfather, William (Bill) Mitchell.

They were a pain in the butt because the modem was hard to use, the screen only showed a few lines at a time and the word processing was primative, but they revolutionized the business. Because of their problems (and because reporters are always complaining), the universal nickname for the the TRS-80 was the Trash 80.
