Detailed explanation-1: -Tribes included the Karok, Maidu, Cahuilleno, Mojave, Yokuts, Pomo, Paiute, and Modoc. On the other hand, the mountains that divided the groups made extensive warfare impractical, and the California tribes and clans enjoyed a comparatively peaceful life.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Chumash, as well as other Native Americans in California, “died by the tens of thousands and most survivors were reduced to a humiliating slavery-like conditions.”6 Child labor was very common in the missions, and Indigenous people were subjected to many different diseases brought to America by the missionaries.
Detailed explanation-3: -Since American Indians did not obtain U.S. citizenship until 1924, they were considered wards of the state and were denied various basic rights, including the right to travel. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) discouraged off-reservation activities, including the right to hunt, fish, or visit other tribes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Traditional subsistence in native California centred on hunting, fishing, and collecting wild plant foods. Typically, men hunted and fished while women and children collected plant foods and small game.
