In school, we learned about the Yokut tribe who inhabited the central valley floor and foothills from Bakersfield to Merced/Stockton. The map didn't show this tribe, however, looking up the Yokut on Wikipedia revealed that the tribe names are different and the map correctly shows these names. Interesting to get the real info 50 years later.
- asciimo 9y agoThis is a great point. Many comments are noting that Carapella's map doesn't jibe with history books or government records or even local lore. But all of these sources tell the story of the victor. We may never know the truth, but we non-natives rarely have access to this perspective.
- protomyth 9y agoNot all of the sources tell the story of the victor. Some of us are going from what had been told by enrolled members of the tribes themselves. HN is a surprisingly diverse community.
