Cultural resource overview Klamath Natl I ~111111111IIIII J3 5138 11 000657291111111111111111111 3 Management Summary This report synthesizes information on the Klamath National Forest area environment and culture history, discusses the significance of the Forest's cultural resources, and makes recommendations for managing those resources. This report is one of a series of reports which will also provide descriptive summaries of Forest cultural resources, predict their distribution, and evaluate the effects of Forest activities on the resources. The Klamath National Forest environment is varied and complex. It includes the Klamath Mountains and Cascades/Modoc Plateau geomorphic provinces. The ruggedness of the Klamath Mountains province and water supply problems in the Cascades/Modoc Plateau province create challenges for those who occupy and use them. Variations in elevation, soil, moisture, aspect and vegetation create numerous local environments within each province. Little is known about the early prehistory of the Forest, although it is likely that the area was occupied by at least 4000 B.C. By the time European-Americans arrived in the area, it was occupied by people belonging to three cultures: the Karok, Shasta, and Modoc. Differences between these cultures may have originated partly from adaptation to differing local environments. The first European-Americans to enter the Forest area were members of Hudson's Bay Company trapping and exploring expeditions. They appeared in the late 1820's.

  • Legislators of California
    The Legislators of California March 2011 Compiled by Alexander C. Vassar Dedicated to Jane Vassar For everything With Special Thanks To: Shane Meyers, Webmaster of JoinCalifornia.com For a friendship, a website, and a decade of trouble-shooting. Senator Robert D. Dutton, Senate Minority Leader Greg Maw, Senate Republican Policy Director For providing gainful employment that I enjoy. Gregory P. Schmidt, Secretary of the Senate Bernadette McNulty, Chief Assistant Secretary of the Senate Holly Hummelt , Senate Amending Clerk Zach Twilla, Senate Reading Clerk For an orderly house and the lists that made this book possible. E. Dotson Wilson, Assembly Chief Clerk Brian S. Ebbert, Assembly Assistant Chief Clerk Timothy Morland, Assembly Reading Clerk For excellent ideas, intriguing questions, and guidance. Jessica Billingsley, Senate Republican Floor Manager For extraordinary patience with research projects that never end. Richard Paul, Senate Republican Policy Consultant For hospitality and good friendship. Wade Teasdale, Senate Republican Policy Consultant For understanding the importance of Bradley and Dilworth. A Note from the Author An important thing to keep in mind as you read this book is that there is information missing. In the first two decades that California’s legislature existed, we had more individuals serve as legislators than we have in the last 90 years.1 Add to the massive turnover the fact that no official biographies were kept during this time and that the state capitol moved seven times during those twenty years, and you have a recipe for missing information. As an example, we only know the birthplace for about 63% of the legislators. In spite of my best efforts, there are still hundreds of legislators about whom we know almost nothing.

On the one hand, as readers will be quick to discern, they constitute a new and vivid commentary upon the perennially interesting history of the gold rush and life in the California mines. To be sure their author, like nearly all of those upon whose narratives our knowledge of conditions in the gulches and on the river bars of the Golden State depends, wrote as an eager gold seeker busily panning, rocking, or sluicing the sands of some hundred foot mining claim. His picture of California, at any given moment, had to be generalized, so to speak, from the “color” at the bottom of his testing pan. His particular camp, company, or environmental coup symbolized for him the prevailing conditions social, economic, and moral. While this was inevitable, it was by no means a misfortune, for a certain uniformity prevailed throughout the mining field and the witness who by intensive living gained a true insight into a given unit had qualifications for interpreting the entire gold digging society.

  • When Cultures Collide: Effects of State and Federal Indian
    WHEN CULTURES COLLIDE: EFFECTS OF STATE AND FEDERAL INDIAN POLICY UPON THE MODOC PEOPLE By Carrie Elizabeth Biggin Cook A Project Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Education Committee Membership Dr. Gayle Olson-Raymer, Committee Chair Dr. Delores McBroome, Committee Member Dr. Eric Vanduzer, Committee Member December 2015 Abstract WHEN CULTURES COLLIDE: EFFECTS OF STATE AND FEDERAL INDIAN POLICY UPON THE MODOC PEOPLE Carrie Elizabeth Biggin Cook This project provides eighth grade students an opportunity to see another perspective from the era of American Westward Expansion. Students learn about Modoc culture from anthropological records, Modoc stories, and investing their own time in a construction project. They then compare perspectives that Modoc may have felt to those of soldiers and pioneers who first interacted with Modoc people. For generations, student textbooks as well as numerous Hollywood western movies depicting prosperous western pioneer towns fixed a mainstream perspective. When thinking of America’s expansion across the North American continent, many people envision rugged individuals and think of the refrain, “sea to shining sea,” heard in Bates’s America the Beautiful. Common Core aligned text books are only beginning to expose students to other perspectives from the time period. As Americans established a dominant presence in lands not part of America’s expanse many indigenous populations had adverse experiences. This project offers evidence to allow students to evaluate various perspectives and establish their own. ii Acknowledgements This long held, personal goal was initiated when an energetic grant writer from Humboldt County presented an amazing opportunity to rural teachers in Trinity County.
