Everybody Must Be Good, and Everybody Must Be Happy
This essay interprets the economic and political strategies of the Pomo-speaking people in late nineteenth-century Northern California through a lens of moral economy. The Pomo moral economy developed out of ancient cultural practices, but it took shape in a specific moment of crisis following their dispossession of land, and it developed in the succeeding decades as Pomo people entered the local agricultural economy as wage laborers. An early 18…
Altogether Different
In 1932, Eastern Pomo William Ralganal Benson published “The Stone and Kelsey ‘Massacre’ on the Shores of Clear Lake in 1849: The Indian Viewpoint” in the California Historical Society Quarterly. While the subjects of Stone and Kelsey’s killings and the Army’s massacres that followed are well known, and many historians have used Benson’s essay as a primary source, no one has yet interpreted the article as the work of historical writing it was. Th…
Mass Murder in California’s Empty Quarter
In 2014, deposed tribal chair Cherie Rhoades brought two pistols to the tribal offices of Cedarville Rancheria in Modoc County, California, and killed four people and wounded two. Journalist Ray A. March argues that the crime was a product of “tribal treachery.” As history, the book is flawed. Congress bought the seventeen-acre rancheria for a community of Northern Paiute people in 1915 with appropriations for landless California Indians, not, as…
Scaling Invisible Walls
California’s Franciscan missions were grounded in Indigenous homelands that to this day remain largely undertheorized and trivialized by scholarly and popular understandings of missions as inescapable fortresses of confinement. Narratives that position California’s missions as places of Indigenous imprisonment endure but they are at odds with a growing body of archaeological and documentary evidence demonstrating the persistence of Native lives, …
Washington is a Long Way Off
In 1887 the Office of Indian Affairs requested that the Army evict the handful of white trespassers who claimed over 90 percent of the Round Valley Reservation in Northern California. The trespassers turned to local courts to block their evictions, and a county judge dispatched the Mendocino County sheriff to arrest the federal officer who persisted with his orders. The ensuing "Round Valley War" shows that, although elites associated with Indian…
