L.A. Meekly: A Los Angeles History Podcast

In honor of what we now know as "Thanksgiving," we’ll be talking about the native people who lived in what we now know as "Los Angeles" and what happened to them once what we now know as "the Spanish" came to take their land and put them in what we now know as "the Missions." This description is now known as "over." We cover the pre-historic and Native days of the city (3:06) and the Spanish and mission days as well (28:25).
