The foothill Indians:
The Nisenan, Miwok, and Miadu Indians lived in this valley in small groups. They found everything they needed in the natural world to support them. For food, they fished, hunted, trapped, and harvested plants and seeds. They used natural materials to make clothing, housing, tools, and medicine. Over the centuries, they developed a rich social and spiritual life in this way, the foothill people sustained their culture for thousands of years. |
