Founded in 1969, the American Indian Studies program at CSULB attracted a wide range of native community-based activists as well as non-native students interested in American Indian culture and society. Women played a very prominent role both in departmental activities and in planning campus events. Although there was no sustained plan to collect oral histories, the women taking courses in American Indian studies and in women’s studies frequently chose to interview their classmates and family friends. Some of these interviews are incorporated into the American Indian Lives series.

Oil was discovered on Signal Hill, north of the City of Long Beach, in 1921. Soon more wells were brought it and the field spread into the City. As more people moved into the area to work on the wells and the developments that followed them, people in pre-existing neighborhoods worried that the field's spread might bring out of control wells, smelly sump holes and dangerous equipment near their homes. In response, Long Beach adopted regulations that limited oil development. Even as the City incorporated outlying neighborhoods that filled with the homes of oil workers and those in related industries, people on top of the hill, near the center of petroleum development, resisted. And in 1926 they incorporated their own City of Signal Hill which is completely surrounded by the City of Long Beach.

The 1960s was a time of change. The Black civil right movement, opposition to the war in Vietnam, student protests for more relevant classes, farm workers organizing unions, New Mexican farmers asserting ownership of public land, hippies advocating love were among the agents of change. In the midst of all of this, Mexican American students were going to college in larger numbers than ever before, many as the first one in their families to do so, and wondering where they fit into all of these changes. Drawing on the example of earlier Mexican American activists, such as those who organized to secure justice for the young men accused of the Sleepy Lagoon murders, or elected Edward Roybal to the Los Angeles City Council, they began to organize among themselves.

The Hmong are subsistence farming mountain people who live in China and Southeast Asia. Many of those in Laos allied themselves with the US during the Vietnam war, hoping to protect their way of life. They are one of the montangard groups referred to in discussions of the war. Many worked directly with the CIA in northern Laos and some were part of the Hmong guerilla/Royal Lao Army under General Vang Pao. In May, 1975, following the withdrawal of US forces from Vietnam and the communist victories in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, the CIA evacuated 2,500 Hmong from Long Cheng, the CIA stronghold. Over the course of the next ten years, it is estimated that more than 100,000 Hmong fled to Thailand.

In contrast to most oral histories of Cambodians that focus either on the Khmer Rouge period or the immigration experience, this mainly Khmer language series documents life in Cambodia in the post-Khmer Rouge years, up to the time of the 1993 national elections. The interviews were conducted as part of a research project by a CSULB student who went to Cambodia to work with CANDO (Cambodian American National Development Organization) in preparation for the elections. All the narrators were living in Phnom Penh at the time. However, some had returned to their provincial villages after the defeat of the Khmer Rouge and only later moved to Phnom Pen to advance their education or their careers.
