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. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $z California $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Hunting $z California. 650 0 $a Hunting and gathering societies $z California. 650 0 $a Human ecology $z California $x History. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $x Ecology $z California. 651 0 $a California $x History. $x History. 650 07 $a Landnutzung. $2 swd 650 07 $a Wirtschaftsweise. $2 swd 650 07 $a NatuÌrliche Ressourcen. $2 swd 651 7 $a Indianer. $2 swd 651 7 $a Kalifornien. $2 swd 700 1 $a Parrish, Otis. 830 0 $a California natural history guides ; $v 96. 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0823/2008027795.html 941 $a 3 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20100723031230.0 952 $l UDAX314 $d 20100524142617.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20100405120411.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7020E8EA40C011DF814D4D3DA8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
