Aaron Carapella: Tribal Nations Maps

On April 7th, 2023 Aaron Carapella, Founder of Tribal Nations Maps gave a presentation on his company which creates detailed maps of tribal nations homelands.  Aaron joined us via Zoom from Oklahoma.  Since this is LACCD's Spring Break, I was the only one attending in person, as many students, staff, and faculty are out of town.

Please check out Aarons website here:

If you have any questions for Aaron or about any of this products, you can contact him at his contact page: https://www.tribalnationsmaps.com/contact.html

Stay tuned: The form for our annual student scholarship will be available very soon as well as an announcement regarding the Student Symposium, an opportunity for undergraduate students to highlight their research they are doing in their classes.

 

Open to all community college, CSU, and UC students

Event begins at 4:00 pm in Room 132 in the Sci-Tech building on the campus of LACC.  For those who can't make it in person, you will be able to join us on Zoom.
