History has not been kind to the Owens Valley.
Indigenous people called the Owens Valley “Payahuunadü,” or the land of flowing water, and settled along the banks of its river, creeks and springs more than 150 years ago. In the early 1900s, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power took control of the valley’s rich natural resource, which streamed through the plains at the foothills of the Eastern Sierra, to sustain an expanding megalopolis 200 miles south.
In 1942, the now dry, dusty valley became the infamous site for the Manzanar concentration camp, where more than 11,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated until 1945.

THEY GOT ME… We shall return our attention during the month to Primary, Elementary and Middle School – Honors, Awards and Scholarships to as many people as can be reached. Because of the pandemic and other factors many of the resources may be lost. The interaction between students and teaching staff may be felt for years to come.
As a non-commercial organization we were not surprised to have this group First Grade grads ask us to look into awards for them and their parents.
