  • Ethnohistory and Ethnogeography of the Coast Miwok and Their Neighbors, 1783-1840
    ETHNOHISTORY AND ETHNOGEOGRAPHY OF THE COAST MIWOK AND THEIR NEIGHBORS, 1783-1840 by Randall Milliken Technical Paper presented to: National Park Service, Golden Gate NRA Cultural Resources and Museum Management Division Building 101, Fort Mason San Francisco, California Prepared by: Archaeological/Historical Consultants 609 Aileen Street Oakland, California 94609 June 2009 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY This report documents the locations of Spanish-contact period Coast Miwok regional and local communities in lands of present Marin and Sonoma counties, California. Furthermore, it documents previously unavailable information about those Coast Miwok communities as they struggled to survive and reform themselves within the context of the Franciscan missions between 1783 and 1840. Supplementary information is provided about neighboring Southern Pomo-speaking communities to the north during the same time period. The staff of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) commissioned this study of the early native people of the Marin Peninsula upon recommendation from the report’s author. He had found that he was amassing a large amount of new information about the early Coast Miwoks at Mission Dolores in San Francisco while he was conducting a GGNRA-funded study of the Ramaytush Ohlone-speaking peoples of the San Francisco Peninsula. The original scope of work for this study called for the analysis and synthesis of sources identifying the Coast Miwok tribal communities that inhabited GGNRA parklands in Marin County prior to Spanish colonization. In addition, it asked for the documentation of cultural ties between those earlier native people and the members of the present-day community of Coast Miwok. The geographic area studied here reaches far to the north of GGNRA lands on the Marin Peninsula to encompass all lands inhabited by Coast Miwoks, as well as lands inhabited by Pomos who intermarried with them at Mission San Rafael.

  • Epilogue, Appendices and Index
    -fr 345 EPILOGUE Only one day a year is the moon centered over Mt. Tamalpais... but you can celebrate living in Larkspur every day of the year. 14.1: Moon over Mt. Tamalpais, timeless, Over the years man has been lured to Larkspur because of the creek, the tall redwoods, and hillside views. Homes were built creating distinctive neighborhoods in its canyons, along its creek banks and on its slopes with views of Mt. Tamalpais. The downtown began as a cluster of Native American villages that were replaced by lumber mills, livery stables, and shipping docks and evolved over the years first to ranch lands and hillside vineyards then to local hardware and grocery stores. In 2008, the city's Centennial Year, the butchers, bakers, and bars have been replaced by bistros, boutiques, and baby shops. Yet Larkspur has preserved its historic essence. The basic elements of the town are positioned at the junction of Magnolia Avenue and King Street - a residential home, a commercial building, a church and a city hall and library. The false front store facades, the Mission Revival style church and city hall, the early Queen Anne Victorians and the Blue Rock Inn all evoke the essence of the city's past and present a capsule history of the town in its two block downtown. On its 100th birthday Larkspur's downtown still retained the flavor its bawdy past. Old buildings have been gussied up and even the Silver Peso has been painted. Although development has filled most of the vacant land, far-sighted citizens purchased open space, required marsh dedication and took strong stands on heritage tree preservation.

  • Corte Madera Creek Flood Risk Management Project, Phase 1 Draft
    3.4 CULTURAL RESOUCES 3.4 Cultural Resources 3.4.1 Introduction This section presents and discusses the cultural resources located within the project area. Included in this section are the environmental and regulatory settings, the significance criteria used for determining environmental impacts, potential impacts associated with the project, and, where applicable, mitigation measures that would reduce those impacts to a less-than-significant level. 3.4.2 Scoping Comments Comments related to cultural resources impacts were received during the public scoping process. These comments and the location where they are addressed in the cultural resources EIR analysis are provided in Table 3.4-1. Table 3.4-1 Cultural Resources Scoping Comments Agency/Entity Comment Location in Cultural Resources Section that Comment is Addressed California State The Draft EIR should also mention that the title to all abandoned 3.4.5 Impact Assessment Lands archaeological sites and historic or cultural resources on or in Methodology Commission the submerged lands of California is vested in the state and under the jurisdiction of the Commission (Pub.

Commission staff requests that the District consult with Staff Attorney Jamie Garrett, should any cultural resources on State lands be discovered during construction of the proposed Project. In addition, Commission staff requests that the following statement be included in the EIR’s Mitigation and Monitoring Plan: “The final disposition of archaeological, historical, and paleontological resources recovered on state lands under the jurisdiction of the California State Lands Commission must be approved by the Commission.” Garril Page I combine these two headings [Cultural Resources/Tribal Cultural 3.4.3 Environmental Resources] as I have commented extensively on these subjects Setting, Project Setting, in prior EIR, and EIR/EIS opportunities.

Present Owner: New Home Company Present Use: The former nursery complex and residence are abandoned and slated for redevelopment; the buildings will be demolished. Significance: The Niven Nursery complex is significant in the history of twentieth century commercial nursery development. Begun by the Niven family in the 1920s, with expansion of the property and its operations from the 1930s to the 1980s. The complex represents early business development in the 1920s in the City of Larkspur. According to Mr. Hill's 2000 report, the Niven Nursery was the only commercial nursery operating in the City of Larkspur. The buildings are significant because of the connection to James Niven, a pioneering member of the City of Larkspur and an important member of the Northern California commercial nursery industry. The buildings represent greenhouse design dating from the 1920s to the 1950s in Marin County and the larger surrounding area. As the industry changed over the twentieth century, most of the commercial nurseries changed operations or ceased to operate. The Niven Nursery buildings represent the dwindling stock of these early commercial nursery operations. Historian: Kathleen A. Crawford, Architectural Historian and Carrie D. Wills, Senior Project Archaeologist, Michael Brandman Associates, 2633 Camino Ramon, San Ramon, CA; September 2011.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Californio Local Liberalisms: The Lasting Impact of Mexican Ideologies in California, 1848-1890 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Citlali Lucia Riddell 2020 © Copyright by Citlali Lucia Riddell 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Californio Local Liberalisms: The Lasting Impact of Mexican Ideologies in California, 1848-1890 by Citlali Lucia Riddell Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor Eric R Avila, Chair After the U.S.-Mexican War, the Californio people, recent Mexican citizens, engaged with their new American surroundings by drawing on the long history of liberalism in Latin America. Having recently left the shadows of Spanish colonialism, Latin America and the northern parts of Mexico included developed local varieties of liberal ideology. As such, the Californios brought their uniquely local brand of liberalism to bear on American ideas about race, local infrastructure, immigration, and the rights of Native Americans. Drawing upon memoirs, speeches, newspaper articles, and interviews, this dissertation demonstrates that the ii Californios used Mexican liberal traditions to both conflict with and support American political and cultural shifts in the periods before and after the Civil War. By focusing on the historical traditions of Mexican liberalism, this dissertation expands the perspective on the Californios to consider their ideologies. This dissertation outlines
