This document provides a historical overview of the Minooka and Channahon areas from their earliest inhabitants to the early 20th century. It notes that the areas were originally home to Native American tribes like the Illiniwek, Potawatomi, and Mound Builders. French explorers first visited in 1673. White settlers arrived in the late 1820s and the villages of Minooka, Channahon, and Dresden were established. The coming of the railroad in 1852 and the Illinois & Michigan Canal in the 1840s boosted development and trade of local agriculture. Early buildings, churches, and infrastructure are described from the mid-19th century founding of the towns.

The Apeta Momonga Mission Trail is an integral piece of our Native American and Spanish heritage, comprising two stories.
First, it was a historic trail that was used beginning at least 3,000 years ago to travel from Achoicominga (San Fernando) to the village of Momonga (Santa Susana Pass/Stoney Point).
Second, after Mission San Fernando was established in 1797, the trail was used to travel from Mission San Fernando to the Simi Adobe to Mission San Buenaventura. The Mission Trail became a part of the El Camino Real along the north end of the San Fernando Valley, offering safe passage to travelers along its route.
This presentation will cover the following topics, which were also presented to the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission in September and November of 2018:

Frank Knapp Senior (1875-1952), his wife Maria, and their first three children (Mary, Frank and Alfonso) immigrated from the Tyrol region of Austria to the United States, in 1903.
There would eventually be eight siblings: six boys and two girls. By 1911 the family was established in the new community of Owensmouth, the core area of what would later become Canoga Park, in the west San Fernando Valley.
Frank Senior was a craftsman that worked in wood, stone, concrete, and plaster, and he did a considerable amount of work, much of it artistic, in those medium in the then just-beginning modern development of the west San Fernando Valley.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Illiniwek – Illini
Where here when explorers
came in 1673
Potowatomi
Last tribe in the area
3. French Explorers
In 1673, Father Jacque
Marquette and Louis
Jolliet explored this area
and claimed it for
France!
Traveled up the Illinois
River and suggest it
would be a good area for
a canal!
4. Fur Trappers & Traders
Were up and down
and all along the
waterways – but left
no records!
5. White Settlers
Late 1820’s
Used Potowatomi
Language as place names
6. Potowatomi Language
MINOOKA
Good Earth or Place of
Contentment
CHANNAHON –
Where the waters meet
7. Minooka
Minooka means place of
contentment, good Earth,
high point or place of the
maples in the Potowatomi
Language.
Dolly Smith, the wife of
Leander Smith, spoke the
Potowatomi language and
named Minooka and many of
the streets in the older part of
town.
8. Channahon
Means where the waters
meet. The Kankakee and
Des Plaines Rivers come
together near Channahon to
form the Illinois River.
Channahon was once the site
of a large Potowatomi village.
Chief Bourbonnais raced
his ponies along what we
now know as Rt. 6!
9. Dresden
In 1833, Salmon
Rutherford came to what
we now know as the
Dresden Bluffs and
established the village of
Dresden. This inn was a
stagecoach stop and was
the first inn in Grundy
County! Still standing at
Dollinger’s Family Farm!
10. A Painting of the View from Dresden

Illinois River is on

20’ log house that
housed up to 8 people at
one time.
23. Minooka
The Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific Railroad
put tracks through this
area in 1852.
24. Rock Island Depot
1907
Stood by the tracks east
of Wabena Ave.
3 sets of tracks
25. Minooka Grain
The Trains provided a
way for the area farmers
to get their produce to
market.
26. Looking North From
Wapella Before 1929
In 1929 the Rail road decided
to lower the grade of the tracks
in Minooka. Until then the
tracks were level with
Mondamin and Wapella Sts.
Minooka was and is the highest
point in Illinois on this line of
tracks. The trains had trouble
making the grade into town.
Early railroad workers called
the town Summit.
The Village Board fought
against the lowering, wanting a
viaduct instead so there would
not be a dangerous intersection
at Mondamin and Wabena!
27. St. Mary’s Church
Built in 1865
Located behind St.
Mary’s Cemetery on
the west side of the
Railroad tracks.
Burned down in 1903
