As I have mentioned in my previous blog, I have been researching the Tongva Tribe, who once lived in what is now Los Angeles to Orange County and on the Catalina and San Clemente islands. They were forcibly moved out of their homes by the mid-1840s and now both USC and UCLA occupy their territories for their universities. In my paper, I argue that the Tongva victims of cultural displacement and their descendants should be given financial scholarships, and that the universities should offer classes, majors and/or minors to educate and raise awareness, as well as sympathy for the Tongva Tribe and their history.

 

The article sited below, from the USC library, talks about a 2021-22 academic year scholarship for the descendants of boarding school survivors, provided by the American Indian College Fund and National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition. It discusses the effectiveness of these scholarships as a reparation for those affected by displacement and therefore provides support for my argument.

"Fat Amy" The Funny Fat Friend

  "Fat Amy" The Funny Fat Friend     Pitch Perfect was one of my favorite films growing up and always made me fantasize about going off to college one day, maybe joining an a cappella group and having a fun, supportive group of friends, from many different backgrounds. Reflecting on the film now, however, especially as someone who struggles with body image, I find Rebel Wilson’s character of Fat Amy to be a bit problematic. Although she is a very funny and confident young woman, most of her humor revolves around her weight.        We see examples of this as soon as the character is introduced in the film. When Aubrey, the leader of the Barden Bellas (Barden University's female a cappella group), meets Fat Amy and questions her name, Fat Amy says, “it used to be Medium Sized Amy, but you know… Freshman 50,” a play on the term “Freshman 15,” used to describe the weight some students may gain during their first year of college. ...
