Public agencies must treat any such resource as significant unless the preponderance of evidence demonstrates that it is not historically or culturally significant. (3) Any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California may be considered to be an historical resource, provided the lead agency’s determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) has also adopted procedures (stated in Chapter 67 of the TRPA Code of Ordinances) for the identification, recognition, protection, and preservation of the region’s significant cultural, historical, archaeological, and paleontological resources. Sections 67.3.2, 67.4 and 67.5 require a site survey by a qualified archaeologist, an inventory of any extant cultural resources, and consultation with the appropriate Native American group. Provisions for a report documenting compliance with the TRPA Code are contained in Section 67.7. Within this regulatory context, cultural resource studies are customarily performed in a series of phases, each one building upon information gained from the prior study.

  • Central California Native Americans
    Central California Native Americans By: Janessa Boom, Matthew Navarrette, Angel Villa, Michael Ruiz, Alejandro Montiel, Jessica Jauregui, Nicholas Hardyman Settlement Patterns Central California was a densely populated cultural area with vast amounts of natural resources at hand. Taking advantage of central California’s various ecotones, the people exploited a plethora of resources using their ingenious technological and cultural expertise. As a general rule of thumb, the various tribes of central California organized themselves according to the availability of resources, i.e., if resources were found to be more densely packed within a given tribal area, one could expect to find a direct correlation in the tribe’s settlement pattern. A. Washoe Tribe- Located in the eastern part of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the Washoe Tribal settlements could typically be found 4-5,000 ft above the resource-rich Carson and Truckee river systems. Utilizing their short distance from the water, the Washoe tribe always had an abundant amount of food due to hunting both the fish swimming in the river, and the large game that came to the water to drink. B. Nisenan Tribe- Much like their Washoe neighbors in the east, the Nisenan Tribe prefered to live above rivers that stemmed from the Sierra Nevada Mountain range (Yuba, Bear, and American Rivers). Despite their similarities to the Washoe, the Nisenan also inhabited the valleys just north of Sacramento. While communities living above rivers tended to small, those located in the central valley could have as many as 500 inhabitants. C. Yana Tribe- While both the Nisenan and Washoe tribes utilized river systems within their tribal areas, the Yana lacked such large rivers.

  • North Fork Mono Meadow Restoration, Fire, and Water: the Tribe’S Land and Water Rights and Tenure
    North Fork Mono Meadow Restoration, Fire, and Water: The Tribe’s Land and Water Rights and Tenure by Jared Dahl Aldern Just as fire is important in the Great Plains ecosystem (see the “Growing Prairie” activity at http://pbs.org/saf/1106/teaching/teaching.htm ), fire is a crucial component of the ecosystems throughout North Fork Mono homelands (see the map of North Fork Mono homelands). The dynamics of the forest ecosystem that gold miners, ranchers, and United States military officers, forest rangers, and scientists encountered in the central Sierra Nevada in the nineteenth century were the results of centuries of small, high-frequency fires propagated along a complex network of trails by Native American people. From the Native American perspective, these fires were gifts from the people to the land, and the intentional exclusion of fire since 1900 has reduced the gifts -- the food, medicine, and material or cultural resources -- that the land had offered for centuries in return for the people’s offerings. Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the use of fire by the North Fork Mono and other California Indian people enhanced plant and animal resources and sustained a higher human population density than intensive, seed-crop agriculture could have supported. Recent studies have suggested that Indian people in some areas of California might have once raised corn, but they subsequently abandoned the practice in favor of carefully designed cycles of burning the land (see Jared Aldern’s dissertation and the book by Kent Lightfoot and Otis Parrish listed in the resource section below). M. Kat Anderson (2009) interviewed Dan McSwain, a North Fork Mono elder who confirmed that his people‘s traditional practices included such thoughtfully arranged and timed cycles of fires.

S. 536 contains twelve provisions, including amendments to statutes relat- ing to particular Indian tribes, and modifications to certain pro- grams related to Native Americans. BACKGROUND The Native American Omnibus Act of 2005 contains separate provisions dealing with a variety of topics including the Indian Fi- nancing Act of 1974, the Indian Arts and Crafts Act, The Act of June 7, 1924 (also known as the Indian Pueblo Act), Border Pre- paredness on Indian Lands Pilot Project, Native American Pro- grams Act of 1974, and Colorado River Indian Reservation Bound- ary Correction Act. The bill also provides technical amendments to provisions relating to particular Indian tribes and to general laws relating to Native American programs. A more detailed explanation of each provision is included in the section-by-section analysis in- cluded in this report.

But ethnographic, linguistic, and archaeological evidence also suggests widespread borrowing from California cultures and the development of complementary social and economic relationships with California groups. This indicates a negotiated and elastic, rather than an overtly competitive, process of territorial expansion. The Mono are an offshoot of the Nevada Indians, and should be properly classified with them, but they have been so long on the western slope of the Sierra, and acquired so many habits and usages, that they may be included here [i.e., in California]. Many years ago—it is impossible to ascertain how long ago—they came over from Owen’s River Valley, and conquered for themselves a territory on the upper reaches of the San Joaquin and King’s River [Powers 1877:397].
