California through Native Eyes: Reclaiming History - Book - Paracay
California through Native Eyes: Reclaiming History - Book
UWP019
Bauer tells California history strictly through Native perspectives. Most California histories begin with the arrival of the Spanish missionaries in the late eighteenth century and conveniently 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 innovative 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...

Cedar: Tree of Life to the Northwest Coast Indians - Book

From the giant cedar of the rainforest came a wealth of raw materials vital to the way of life, art and culture of the early First Nations people of the Northwest Coast. All parts of the cedar tree had many uses. From the wood, skilled men made ocean-going canoes, massive post-and- beam houses, monumental carved poles that declared history, rights and lineage, and powerful dance masks. Women dextrously wove the inner bark into mats and baskets, plied it into ocordage and netting or processed it into soft, warn, water-repellent clothing. They also made the strong withes into heavy-duty rope and wove the roots into watertight baskets....

The Ohlone Way: Indian Life in the San Francisco-Monterey Bay Area - Book
HEY011
Two hundred years ago, herds of elk and antelope dotted the hills of the San Francisco–Monterey Bay area. Grizzly bears lumbered down to the creeks to fish for silver salmon and steelhead trout.

One of the most ground-breaking and highly-acclaimed titles that Heyday has published,   The Ohlone Way   describes the culture of the Indian people who inhabited Bay Area prior to the...
