Our next assignmnet: the narrative of Joaquín Murieta, as told by John Rollin Ridge (Cherokee). Stories about Murieta abound, and continue to be told to this day. Here is a pretty good version of the story by slam poet/ spoken word artist/ teacher/ Chicano hero, Joaquín Zihuatanejo. He honors his grandfather in its telling. Thanks Candice W. for bringing it to my attention!
