California—History
Settled by successive waves of arrivals during the last 10,000 years, California
was one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse areas in pre-Columbian
North America; the area was inhabited by more than 70 distinct groups of Native
Americans. Large, settled populations lived on the coast and hunted sea mammals,
fished for salmon, and gathered shellfish, while groups in the interior hunted
terrestrial game and gathered nuts, acorns, and berries. California groups also were

resource-rich coasts, large chiefdoms, such as the Chumash, Pomo and Salinan. Trade,
intermarriage, and military alliances fostered many social and economic
relationships among the diverse groups.
The first European to explore the coast as far north as the Russian River was the
