CAL FIRE's Native American Contact List California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Native American Contact List Date Revised: January 1, 2021 Note: This list is intended for use by Registered Professional Foresters (RPFs), CAL FIRE Project Managers and archeologists, CAL FIRE’s Certified Archaeological Surveyors, and consulting archaeologists when determining what California Native American Tribes to consult with during the development and review of Timber Harvesting Plans (THPS) and other CAL FIRE Projects. The CAL FIRE archaeologist assigned to maintain this list is Brian Denham. Please direct any information concerning list revisions to Brian’s attention. This Native American Contact List is maintained by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) in consultation with the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The list is authorized in California’s Forest Practice Regulations (14 CCR Section 895.1) and identifies the appropriate Native American groups and individuals to be contacted when reviewing and or developing CAL FIRE projects. The list contains all federally recognized tribes and other appropriate contacts. Federally recognized tribes are designated with an asterisk. This list is organized by counties in alphabetical order. Project managers are responsible to notify all the listed contacts for the county containing the project if that county is designated “ALL”. Fifteen of the counties have been split into divisions with defined geographic boundaries. In those instances, project managers are responsible to notify the listed contacts in the portion of the county containing the project. The boundaries of those divisions are also provided in a set of county maps. The maps can be viewed on-line, but we recommend the desired map be printed as the printed maps provide better resolution. The NACL is currently revised minimally on a biannual basis. Please contact CAL FIRE Associate State Archeologist Brian Denham via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (916) 224-9207 if changes are needed or errors/omissions are observed.

    A Political Ecology of Healing 1 Elisabeth Middleton University of California, Davis, USA. The concept of historical unresolved grief has powerful implications not only for healing from our past, but for giving us the strength and commitment to save ourselves and future generations. Maria Yellow Horse Brave Heart and Lemrya DeBruyn2 1. Introduction On June 29, 2004, the Pacific and Watershed Lands Stewardship Council convened a public meeting in Chester, California, in the northeastern Sierra Nevada mountains. The Board members and staff introduced the Council's purpose—to oversee the planning and divestiture of approximately 140,000 acres (56,656 ha.) of former Pacific Gas & Electric Company land around California—and then opened the floor to public comments and suggestions. One after another, representatives from Mountain Maidu groups including the Honey Lake Maidu, the Roundhouse Council Indian Education Center, and the Maidu Cultural and Development Group, and their allies, stood up and requested the formal inclusion of a Native American representative on the Stewardship Council Board. All of the lands to be divested, and, particularly for Maidu participants, much of the 53,185 acres (21,523 ha.) within the Feather River Planning Unit lie within the Mountain Maidu homeland. To not have an official representative of Native American interests on the Board to oversee the planning efforts for these lands seemed to indicate a blatant disregard for the historical and contemporary Native presence. In his 1998 review of political ecology,

  • Plants Used in Basketry by the California Indians
    PLANTS USED IN BASKETRY BY THE CALIFORNIA INDIANS BY RUTH EARL MERRILL PLANTS USED IN BASKETRY BY THE CALIFORNIA INDIANS RUTH EARL MERRILL INTRODUCTION In undertaking, as a study in economic botany, a tabulation of all the plants used by the California Indians, I found it advisable to limit myself, for the time being, to a particular form of use of plants. Basketry was chosen on account of the availability of material in the University's Anthropological Museum. Appreciation is due the mem- bers of the departments of Botany and Anthropology for criticism and suggestions, especially to Drs. H. M. Hall and A. L. Kroeber, under whose direction the study was carried out; to Miss Harriet A. Walker of the University Herbarium, and Mr. E. W. Gifford, Asso- ciate Curator of the Museum of Anthropology, without whose interest and cooperation the identification of baskets and basketry materials would have been impossible; and to Dr. H. I. Priestley, of the Ban- croft Library, whose translation of Pedro Fages' Voyages greatly facilitated literary research. Purpose of the sttudy.-There is perhaps no phase of American Indian culture which is better known, at least outside strictly anthro- pological circles, than basketry. Indian baskets are not only concrete, durable, and easily handled, but also beautiful, and may serve a variety of purposes beyond mere ornament in the civilized household. Hence they are to be found in. our homes as well as our museums, and much has been written about the art from both the scientific and the popular standpoints. To these statements, California, where American basketry.

  • An Overview of Ohlone Culture by Robert Cartier
    An Overview of Ohlone Culture By Robert Cartier In the 16th century, (prior to the arrival of the Spaniards), over 10,000 Indians lived in the central California coastal areas between Big Sur and the Golden Gate of San Francisco Bay. This group of Indians consisted of approximately forty different tribelets ranging in size from 100–250 members, and was scattered throughout the various ecological regions of the greater Bay Area (Kroeber, 1953). They did not consider themselves to be a part of a larger tribe, as did well- known Native American groups such as the Hopi, Navaho, or Cheyenne, but instead functioned independently of one another. Each group had a separate, distinctive name and its own leader, territory, and customs. Some tribelets were affiliated with neighbors, but only through common boundaries, inter-tribal marriage, trade, and general linguistic affinities. (Margolin, 1978). When the Spaniards and other explorers arrived, they were amazed at the variety and diversity of the tribes and languages that covered such a small area. In an attempt to classify these Indians into a large, encompassing group, they referred to the Bay Area Indians as "Costenos," meaning "coastal people." The name eventually changed to "Coastanoan" (Margolin, 1978). The Native American Indians of this area were referred to by this name for hundreds of years until descendants chose to call themselves Ohlones (origination uncertain). Utilizing hunting and gathering technology, the Ohlone relied on the relatively substantial supply of natural plant and animal life in the local environment. With the exception of the dog, we know of no plants or animals domesticated by the Ohlone.
