When the Spanish began colonizing California in the late 1700s, there were more than 300,000 native peoples living there. By 1860, their population had been cut down to 30,000 by the European diseases they were unprepared to fight, poverty, and other hardships. In this book, readers learn about the traditional culture of the native peoples of California, including the time period before European and American settlement as well as its influence on these groups. Full-color photographs and historical images illustrate their lifestyles as the main content and fact boxes introduce specific groups and their unique customs.
