"Most California histories begin with the arrival of the Spanish missionaries in the
late eighteenth century and skip to the Gold Rush of 1849. Noticeably absent from
these stories are the perspectives and experiences of the people who lived on the
land long before European settlers arrived. Historian William Bauer seeks to correct
that oversight through an approach that tells California history strictly through
Native perspectives. Using oral histories of Concow, Pomo, and Paiute workers, taken
as part of a New Deal federal works project, Bauer reveals how Native peoples have
experienced and interpreted the history of the land we now call California. Combining
these oral histories with creation myths and other oral traditions, he demonstrates
the importance of sacred landscapes and animals and other nonhuman actors to the formation
of place and identity. He also examines tribal stories of ancestors who prophesized
the coming of white settlers and uses their recollections of the California Indian
Wars to counteract popular narratives that downplay Native resistance. The result
challenges the "California story" and enriches it with new voices and important points
of view."--Provided by publisher
