Download or read book We Are the Land written by Damon B. Akins and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A Native American rejoinder to Richard White and Jesse Amble White’s California Exposures.”—Kirkus Reviews Rewriting the history of California as Indigenous. Before there was such a thing as “California,” there were the People and the Land. Manifest Destiny, the Gold Rush, and settler colonial society drew maps, displaced Indigenous People, and reshaped the land, but they did not make California. Rather, the lives and legacies of the people native to the land shaped the creation of California. We Are the Land is the first and most comprehensive text of its kind, centering the long history of California around the lives and legacies of the Indigenous people who shaped it. Beginning with the ethnogenesis of California Indians, We Are the Land recounts the centrality of the Native presence from before European colonization through statehood—paying particularly close attention to the persistence and activism of California Indians in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The book deftly contextualizes the first encounters with Europeans, Spanish missions, Mexican secularization, the devastation of the Gold Rush and statehood, genocide, efforts to reclaim land, and the organization and activism for sovereignty that built today’s casino economy. A text designed to fill the glaring need for an accessible overview of California Indian history, We Are the Land will be a core resource in a variety of classroom settings, as well as for casual readers and policymakers interested in a history that centers the native experience.

Book Synopsis Calafia: The Untold Story of California's Beginnings by : Rick Walker
Download or read book Calafia: The Untold Story of California's Beginnings written by Rick Walker and published by History of California. This book was released on 2020-04-09 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calafia is a historical fiction thriller filled with mystery, suspense, and political drama. This tale is about the untold story of the Spanish discovery and colonization of California, chronicling the clash of the explorers and Indian culture on the early American western frontier.The adventure starts in Spain with sovereign power mongers pulling strings behind the scenes to gain military dominance in America. Creating the "Sacred Expedition" results in a cultural deluge for the indigenous people of California. Calafia threads the sea and land adventure of military men, missionaries, and explorers carrying out their often-brutal directives on the unsuspecting Indians. Loaded with actual accounts and versions of the people's history of California, embark on a first-hand retelling steeped in violence and marked by struggle. After a lifetime of service as a transcriber to King Charles III's chief minister and to several Alta California governors, Sergio Monino sits at his desk in Monterey in 1818 to pen Calafia for posterity. Part memoir, part narrative history, his story is filled with political intrigue, military exploits, daring exploration, religious beginnings, and cultural development.As fascinating as it is distressing, Sergio shares a sympathetic account of the indigenous people who would eventually be displaced by European pioneers in one of the greatest U.S. historical sagas.

Download or read book The History of California (Classic Reprint) written by Franklin Tuthill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of California The following book was written because there seemed to be a demand for a History of California which should sketch the main events of the country from its discovery to the present time. The pioneer, under whose observation the. Most exciting of these events have occurred, confesses the need of such a book. The thousands who have entered the State since it assumed its present peaceful aspect, complain of the lack of a succinct story of what had to be done here to make the land so pleasant a home. The material for a history of California is abundant. The log-books of ancient mariners who visited the coast - the voluminous, if not well-kept archives of the Government, while the territory was under Spanish or Mexican rule - the official reports and Congressional documents about the transfer to the United States - the files of newspapers since the land was Americanized the scores of books of intelligent travellers, who have put their impressions on record, and the oral evidence of natives, and early immigrants, who mingled in all the affairs most interesting to us - from these sources may be drawn ample details of life in California, from dates as far in the past as any but enthusiastic antiqua rians care to retire to.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Early explorers, geographers, and map-makers of the New World described California as an island, and in popular imagination for generations it remained a mysterious island... bordered on Paradise... To eliminate some of the mystery concerning this land, and to give a factual account of its location, people, animals, plants, minerals, weather, and other characteristics, along with a history of the country, the early explorations, and the prospects for Christianizing the Indians was the purpose of Father Miguel Venegas, a member of the Society for Jesus, who sometime before the middle of the eighteenth century collected a considerable body of notes on the subject. After his death, another member of the Society of Jesus, Father Andreas Marcus Buriel, gathered up his notes, edited the work, and published it in three volumes"--Foreward.
