Pamblo Cheif of the Nisenan here in Nevada City, CA. He is honored at the Uba Seo. 15 years after CA became a state in 1850 85% of the Indigenous CA Tribes were eliminated, but 99% of the Nisenan were. In 1950, the federal government refused to recognize them as a Tribe. They are still here!

My home is on land long held by the Miwok and Nisenan people, who have never left, ceded, or ceased to care for it. #indigenouspeoplesday
I live on Chumash land. They lived on this land for over 10,000 years before the European invasion.
It's Indigenous People's Day. Whose land are you on?
I live on the Duwamish Tribe's land and they're still not federally recognized.

Walking #NativeIrisTrail in #Eugene last Saturday, watched a pair of Acorn #Woodpeckers work this snag and fend off an invading squirrel. Learned the bulbs of these purple flowers are called #Ookow and were food eaten by the Maidu and Nisenan American Native cultures.
