Summary:

Referring to itself as "Los Angeles' only Indian Newspaper" and "an Indian Magazine", Talking Leaf was the successor and namesake to an earlier title from 1935, which was also published in Los Angeles. Beginning life as the newsletter of the city's Indian Center, the publication changed format - first to a magazine and then a newspaper. The paper was an important part of the American Indian community in Los Angeles, providing information on programs for Indigenous city-dwellers, calendars of local and national events, job listings, human interest stories and political pieces. Editorial pieces often targeted local issues; publishing details of births, deaths, engagement, politics, sporting events and news specific to the American Indian inhabitants of the city proved a particularly effective way to foster a larger sense of Indigenous community.
