I thought I felt pretty confident about my ability to search our library’s online database until I tried answering some of the questions in the scavenger hunt.  We had a hard time making contact with a librarian, and when we finally did the amount of time she was able to spend with us was limited. She answered many of our questions and suggested that we look to our county library for help, as well as the UC library which we have some access to.

We were unable to view archival material because we didn’t make a request in time, and I’m still not one hundred percent sure how that process works but we’ll be finding out!

In the stacks.

I found this book about Coast Miwok in our collection. There are a few books on Coast Miwok on the shelves, but I also requested (via interlibrary loan) a book written by A.L. Kroeber as well as a book of folktales written by the chairman of the Graton Rancheria.

Shante and I finally got to meet our librarian!

Here’s my (mostly) complete scavenger hunt:
