The collection is especially noteworthy for Virginia Card's extensive documentation of the activities of Native American communities in California.

Card

Virginia Card (née Stilwell, 1919-2003), an American Indian of Creek and Delaware descent, spent the first forty-five years of her life in and around Klamath Falls, Oregon. She moved to Sacramento, California, in the early 1970s and became involved in various American Indian movements. She was active in the Sacramento Indian Center and edited two Native American newsletters, the United Tribes Sunbeam and the Moccasin Telegraph. Virginia Card died on December 15, 2003.

This collection consists of correspondence, writings, subject files, photographs, and audio-visual material. Cards writings include essays and opinion pieces on Native American topics as well as her personal reminiscences of people and events, and may be supplemented by corresponding photographs. Card's subject files include notes and research on Native American groups and organizations as well as social and legal issues. The audio-visual material includes audio correspondence from Virginia Card, reminiscences, documentary recordings of events, and mixed music tapes. The collection is especially noteworthy for Virginia Card's extensive documentation of the activities of Native American communities in California.

These papers were donated as fifteen separate gifts from Virginia Card (1987-2004), eight separate gifts from Joan Cassidy (1988-1996), two gifts from Elizabeth First (1997, 2004), and one gift from Karin Whittlesey (2011).
