Focusing on the particular histories, challenges, and dynamics of life in Native California—which are often very different from elsewhere in the United States—the book collects essays from writers across the state. It encompasses the perspectives of both elders and the rising generation, and the contributors include activists, academics, students, memoirists, and tribal leaders. The collection examines histories of resistance to colonialism in California, the reclaiming of cultures and languages, the connection of place and nature to wellness in tribal communities, efforts to overhaul the racist presentation of California Indians in classrooms and popular culture, and the meanings of solidarity in Native California. Unifying the book is an introduction by Terria Smith (Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians), editor of the renowned and long-running magazine \u003ci\u003eNews from Native California\u003c\/i\u003e. This book is an indispensable resource for California Indian readers, educators of all levels in California, and students in Native studies courses nationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A fascinating collection of essays by a wide variety of California Indian authors addressing an equally varied spectrum of issues but all focused on one critical theme: resistance to colonialism, past and present.\" —\u003cb\u003eBenjamin Madley\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eAn American Genocide: The United States and the California Indian Catastrophe, 1846-1873\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"An essential resource to learn about the many trials and triumphs of the Indigenous people of California who rise to revitalize their cultures, tell their true histories, and honor their ancestors through retelling stories that keep them remembered in these landscapes.
