Based in part on new archaeological findings, it tells how the California Indians lived in vibrant polities, each boasting a rich village life including chiefs, religious specialists, master craftspeople, dances, feasts, and ceremonies. Throughout, the book emphasizes how these diverse communities interacted with the state's varied landscape, enhancing its already bountiful natural resources through various practices centered around prescribed burning. A handy reference section, illustrated with more than one hundred color photographs, describes the plants, animals, and minerals the California Indians used for food, basketry and cordage, medicine, and more. At a time when we are grappling with the problems of maintaining habitat diversity and sustainable economies, we find that these native peoples and their traditions have much to teach us about the future, as well as the past, of California. 410 0$aCalifornia natural history guides ;$v96. 606 $aIndians of North America$zCalifornia$xSocial life and customs 606 $aIndians of North America$xHunting$zCalifornia 606 $aHunting and gathering societies$zCalifornia 606 $aHuman ecology$zCalifornia$xHistory 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xEcology$zCalifornia 607 $aCalifornia$xEnvironmental conditions$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xHunting 615 0$aHunting and gathering societies 615 0$aHuman ecology$xHistory. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xEcology 676 $a979.4/01 700 $aLightfoot$b Kent G.$f1953-$01050740 701 $aParrish$b Otis$01050741 701 $aPanich$b Lee M$01050742 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452570203321 996 $aCalifornia Indians and their environment$92480804 997 $aUNINA
