Description: A Native American rejoinder to Richard White and Jesse Amble White's California Exposures. Kirkus Reviews Rewriting the history of California as Indigenous. Before there was such a thing as California there were the People and the Land. Manifest Destiny the Gold Rush and settler colonial society drew maps displaced Indigenous People and reshaped the land but they did not make California. Rather the lives and legacies of the people native to the land shaped the creation of California. We Are the Land is the first and most comprehensive text of its kind centering the long history of California around the lives and legacies of the Indigenous people who shaped it. Beginning with the ethnogenesis of California Indians We Are the Land recounts the centrality of the Native presence from before European colonization through statehood paying particularly close attention to the persistence and activism of California Indians in the late twentieth and early twenty - first centuries. The book deftly contextualizes the first encounters with Europeans Spanish missions Mexican secularization the devastation of the Gold Rush and statehood genocide efforts to reclaim land and the organization and activism for sovereignty that built today's casino economy. A text designed to fill the glaring need for an accessible overview of California Indian history We Are the Land will be a core resource in a variety of classroom settings as well as for casual readers and policymakers interested in a history that centers the native experience.
