In 1997, Russ Imrie interviewed Howard Harris in Hollister. Allan Lundell was there to video it. Howard has since passed on . Howard, his wife Bess, Allan, Sun Marian, Pat and Russ talked for an hour - this is an incredible historical video. Howard was an unimpeachable witness to some true California Indian history history as well as a great civic leader, 4H figure and a part of Indian Canyon... we thank him.

Indigenous Peoples are under assault all over the planet... global human diversity is endangered by social and economic pressures, overpopulation, and a spiritual vacuum... The menu below has links to this behavior from all over the planet...OUR planet. Please email us links to web resources on this matter.

UCSF Students and Professors visiting Indian Canyon late in September, 2004. Many, many students and teachers are welcomed to Indian Canyon on a continuing basis going back over a decade. If your class would like to visit the canyon please contact us via our email link at the top of this page. FYI, and to save me from repeating this bit of cultural information again and again... it is traditional for anyone meeting a distinguished or elder Native American to make a small present of tobacco and shaking their hand when meeting them for the first time. - thanks, Russvillages os San Juan Bautistaa 1790 list of San Juan Bautista inductee home villages - 50k .jpg imageMonterey Bay see the Monterey Bay as it appeared the day of First Contact...

YOKUTS

Many YOKUTS people from the Central Valley were taken into the coastal ( Santa Clara, San Jose, Santa Cruz) missions as local, "raw material" ran out. Pat Brattland (Table Mountain Rancheria) has material on her ancestors who were thus taken.
