History of California Blacks Nation Califians/Khalifians True Aboriginals of California

History of California Blacks Nation Califians/Khalifians True Aboriginals of California History about the first true Americans has been manipulated and influenced by Europeans for hundreds of year. Today, these lies in history continue to be told in History books across the country. Information about African history has always been limited Spaniards, of course, were hardly the first to discover this land of wonder and extremes. The earliest Californians were adventurous Asians who made their way across the Bering Straits to Alaska thousands of years ago when a warmer climate and a now-vanished land bridge made such travel easier.Show more

The original indigenous inhabitants of California were the descendants of West Africa, South America’s Olmecs – Xi Empire, 1500 – 400 BCE, Egypt, Asia and the Pacific Islands, creating a mix-cultural nation that thrived for thousands for years in peace.

California blacks were followers of the principles of Ma’at and they studied, exulted, and sought to emulate the mythical Gods of Kemet. Including and most importantly: Isis, Horus and Ra. They believed in one supreme God, life after death and heaven on earth.

They were lovingly ruled by a matriarchal secession, descendants of African queens. Most notably the legendary Queen of California and the Pacific Island Nations; Califia ( Khalifia).

According to online sources California was named after its last Muurish Empress Queen Khalifia a decedent of the Olmecs, West Africa Manding, and the Kemites (Egyptians). Spanish writer Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo provides us with a description of Queen Khalifia around 1500 when he wrote Las sergas de Esplandián (The Adventures of Esplandián).

eurweb has a great article about her and the history of blacks in california. Heres a piece of the article below.
“Reigning over the Empire of Xi, in the ancient kingdom of Utla, the nation of AtLan, was the great queen of gold and diamonds, ruler of the California Blacks. Queen Califia, decorated warrior general – mother, was the grand and beautiful royal leader in the beloved, wealthy, and powerful, Land of the Blacks:
A civilization with an abundance of natural resources: gold, diamonds, vast quantities of precious stones and metals, with territory spanning thousands and thousands of miles throughout California. From the coast of San Francisco to Bahia Mexico, as far inland as Colorado, Utah, and all the Pacific Ocean Island Nations including Hawaii, and Australia. Places where most of the original inhabitants were aborigine, black and brown people of color.
Queen Califia was a powerful General Queen, a strategic opponent, who commanded and maintained a fleet of ships while ushering in a time of peace in all surrounding lands.

The robust California Blacks were master trainers and lovers of exotic animals with developed skills. They were able to teach themselves to defend, utilizing a real force of domesticated and trained “Griffins” and eagles, snakes, tigers and bears. Along with other species native to California and Africa, these unusual creatures were trained to protect the land and its people.
So loved, respected and powerful was the Queen, she could project her imperial will over the seas of the Mediterranean. A master of communication and commerce, trading gold tip spears, gold, diamonds, precious stones, furs, food, plants, rare birds and animals as well as maintaining cultural and trading contacts with Africa, Australia and the Pacific Islands. This great lady ruler also successfully defended her empire during wars in the Mediterranean Sea and Anatolia, as well as against the Byzantine Empire and in Southern Europe.
Queen Califia and the mighty empire of the California Blacks, a people whose civilization and history has been lost to time and space through a deliberate destructive conspiracy of lies, secrets and deaths perpetrated by evil invaders of ancient America.”

*In the continental United States of America, there were Africans who came before slavery, before Columbus, and thousands of years before Jesus Christ. In many cases, these Blacks and other indigenous nations established thriving civilizations in ancient America. Queen Califia and the California Blacks were one such ancient Black nation.

To say they came before Columbus is an understatement. They came thousands and thousands of years before. Many historians, including the renowned expert and father of Ancient Africa Studies, Dr. Van Sertima, author of the bestselling book, They Came Before Columbus; David Imhotep Ph.D. (The First Americans Were Black) and Cheik Anta Diop (The African Origin of Civilization, Myth or Reality) among many, all concur and prove that the first Africans started arriving in ancient times, between 56,000 – 100,000 years ago. It is now also an archeological fact that the true original people of the Americas included many nations and the Black Californians were one of them as decedents of the Olmecs, West Africa Manding, Egyptians, (Kings of Kush) and the First Emperor of China, (Shangdi’s, Shang Dynasty.)

History of the California Blacks

The mighty California Blacks were a powerful military savvy civilization, with shipbuilders, priest-scientist, traders, and empire builders. These elite seafarers traveled all over the globe trading in gold tip spears and precious stones. Masters of commerce, this highly sophisticated society practiced, as part of their religious ceremonies, astronomy, (tracking celestial Sirius star-systems) scared science, geometry and mathematics. They were nautical wizards of longitude – latitude, master builders of complex housing, political systems and captains of the open seas as well as arts and music enthusiasts. They were also worshippers of the Egyptian Gods Horus, Osiris, Isis, Wadgyt, Sun God, Ra and the universality of the concept of Maat, and how ethical behavior was the norm. The Goddess Maat represents truth, justice, righteousness and world order, the supreme ethical paradigm that dictated the behavior of the California Blacks and the civilizations of ancient America.
The California Blacks, Xi Empire was ruled by a succession of Queens, as was the custom in many ancient African Nations. This unfamiliar practice observed by the naive Spaniards is surely how the myth of the nymph, Amazon Queen legend, who hated and killed all baby boys and men, came into existence. Their matriarch societies were based on maternal values; decedents and relationships were determined through the female line, a practice that was very common in West Africa and throughout the ancient world.

This remarkable multi-cultural, highly spiritual religious civilization thrived for thousands of years and is duly noted in several recent discoveries, including ancient cave art dating back tens of thousands of years. Over 100,000 cave and rock art pictures, symbols and ancient artifacts can be found at Crystal Lake California, now a restricted United States army base, and thousands of newly discovered cave and rock art found in 2014 in the highlands of Mexico. The photos of recently discovered cave art show one thing for sure. They were not a hunter-gather tribe, but a complex highly advanced thriving civilization that prospered way before the arrival of any Europeans, Indians or Clovis people.

Through our high tech in-house CGI experiment, conducted recently on ancient cave -art, we were able to back engineer some of the ancient art. What we discovered was truly amazing. CGI graphic art techniques were used thousands of years ago. Some art appears to be created using computer generated technology and 21st Century animation. What is revealed is intriguing and very surprising, a unique first-hand glimpse at life in ancient America. Some have low pixilation. However, all are in beautiful color, depicting cave art/pictures of worship, sacred ancient and Egyptian symbols, including the cross, snakes, Gods, marriage ceremonies, underwater fishing, cave diving, scuba mask, electricity, guns, gold mining, and other high tech capabilities.

The California Blacks lived by a strict moral ethics code: living in harmony with the people, animals, land, sea, earth, sun and heavenly planets. Their wood-built homes, official dwellings and structures were arranged in granger and complicity, from holy sites, cliffs residents, monumental buildings, scared caves and mounds that were enhanced and decorated magnetically in silk, gold, diamonds and precious stones. Some appear to have illumination, electricity.

Queen Califia and the California Blacks were all directly or indirectly related to our decedents of the Olmecs of South America, West African Nile Valley, Kings of Kush, Emperor Remises the Great and the Yellow Emperor, Shangdi of China.

The Black Mound Builders of the Washitaw – Murrs (Ouachita Moors) Nation, an independent civilization, are also descendants of the Olmecs who successfully lived alongside of their cousins (California Blacks) in peace, while engaging in boat building, seafaring, trade and commerce for thousands of years.

Descendants of Ham
The history of the original Black people of California is not mentioned in most American history books. The term “Indian” is used to classify all of the people found in the Americas when Columbus arrived. Yet, Columbus and his men, as well as people like Balboa and Peter Matyr, do mention “Ethiopians” in the Caribbean’s, Darien region of Panama, the coast of South America, California and other areas. According to these invaders, these Black indigenous people were the decedents of Ham” (a Bible reference). It was specifically those with black skin and kinky/curly hair that the Spaniards and other Europeans were instructed to capture, kill and/or enslave rather than Christianize them, based on the edict of the mid 1400s. (“A History of the African Olmecs”) published by 1stBook Library.

The Black Californians were not American Indians but indigenous people of African ancestry. As a mixed culture, they closely resembled today’s African Americans and Melanesians from the Pacific Islands. The history of the Black Californians appear to be conveniently erased, ignored, shrouded in mystery, myth and ignorance, all in an effort to keep our history obscure by not mentioning that the original people of California and America were Black and American Indians whose civilizations existed together peacefully thousands of years before Columbus.

Yet the Black Californians are not unknown to the Spanish invaders and colonialists whose defendants are part of the population of Mexico, California and the South Western United States and who are no different from the settlers and colonialists from Spain, England, France, Portugal, and elsewhere. In fact, the Spaniards who mention the legend of Queen Califia, “who ruled a land at the edge of the world, where the women were warriors and decked in gold,” was in fact a Black California – Olmec Queen. Descendants of great Kings of Kush and Queens of West Africa, Olmecs, Nubia, Egypt and China. The California Black’s, kingdom of Utala – AtLan, (California) numbered over 10 million, with the population exceeding 25 million, including Pacific Islands Nations, Hawaii and South America.

The Spanish explorers along the California coast were among the first to see and enquire about the Black Californians. Upon arriving along the California shores, they saw a number of Black people with ships. They asked the Indians who they were and the Indians replied that these “Black curly-haired people” were of the land of California” and traded with people across the sea (the Pacific Ocean) by sailing back and forth.

Where were these Black Californians going in the Pacific? They were trading with island nations, people in Hawaii and throughout the South Pacific where the Black population has always been very large and widespread. In fact, when Magellan arrived in the Philippines, there were large numbers of Negritos who where well organized and had a strong population. Black traders and Black Africoid who had been in the Americas for thousands of years were also spread in the Mississippi Valley, Eastern United States, Mexico and the Caribbean.

Among the groups were the Washitaw, the Yamassee, Guale, Califunami, Chuarras of Brazil, Afro- Dariente of Panama, Choco of Columbia, Olmec, Mende – Shi of Mexico, (West African, Egyptian, Black Chinese) and Guanini of South America, among others.

Rafinesque mentions a number of Black groups in his work, “The Primitive Black Nations of America.” (Friends of the Society of Philadelphia, 1833) One thing is for certain. The Europeans, Americans and Spaniards never mistook American Indians for Black Americans. They always referred to Blacks, Negro African types, as “Moors” “Blacks,” Ethiopians and the People of the Queen of Sheba.

What happen to the California Blacks and the Original Blacks of California and the South West?

The extermination of the Blacks of California was indeed the largest act of genocide in American history. “The idea, strange as it may appear, never occurred to them (the Indians) that they were suffering for the great cause of civilization, which, in the natural course of things, must exterminate Indians.”
– Special Agent J. Ross Brown, Indian Affairs

California was one of the last areas of the New World to be colonized. It wasn’t until 1769 that the first mission, Mission San Diego de Alcala’ in California, the first of 21 missions, would become the primary means for the Spaniards to subjugate the ingenious. The leader of this effort was Junipero Serra. Disputing what history books currently tell you, the missions were coercive religious, forced labor camps. Through bribes, military, and even onslaught European diseases (that usually targeted children), the colonizers ensured that eventually sick and desperate natives would come to the mission for help. The people taken there had their children taken from them and harsh, manual labor was the rule. Beatings and filthy living conditions were common. The death rate at the mission was appalling. By 1818 the percentage of Natives who died in the missions reached 86 percent. Over 81,000 “converts” eventually managed to successfully flee the missions. Soon after, there were Indian revolts. The San Diego mission was burnt down in 1775 during the Kumeyaay rebellion. Mohave Indians destroyed two missions in a dramatic revolt in 1781. Santa Barbra and Santa Inez Missions were destroyed in 1824. In 1834, Mexican Governor Jose Figueroa freed the Indians from the mission system and stripped the friars of their power. More than 100,000 native people had died because of the mission system. But that did not mean things went back to how it was before. The Spanish didn’t give the land back. Instead, the land was distributed to political insiders and a system of ranches developed. By the start of the Mexican-American War, 26 million acres were controlled by just 813 ranchers.

Gold Rush and Genocide
After Johann Sutter became a Mexican citizen in 1840, he was awarded a land grant of 48,827 acres by the government. On June 18, 8141, he and his partner James Marshall began Sutter’s Mill shortly after. While building the sawmill, Marshall discovered gold the morning of January 24, 1848. History in the state of California would forever change for the original natives of the land. Ironically the gold rush that followed didn’t enrich either man and they too were forced off the land by whites more ruthless than them. In the chaos of the gold rush, almost all of the enslaved indigenous people and Indians were killed. Many others escaped.

In 1840, there were 5 million California Blacks and only about 4,000 Europeans in California. Only 400 of them were Americans. Now a hoard of 100,000 adventurers, gold seekers and murderous criminals descended on California. The authorities were completely overwhelmed. The Natives faced catastrophe of biblical proportions.

Numerous vigilante type paramilitary troops were established whose principle occupation seems to have been to kill Blacks/Indians, and kidnap their children. Groups such as the Humbolt Home Guard, the Eel River Minutemen and the Placer Blades, among others, terrorized local natives. The local authorities not only ignored the genocide in their midst, they encouraged it. Rewards ranged from $5 for every severed head in Shasta City in 1855 to 25 cents for a scalp in Honey Lake in 1863. One resident of Shasta City wrote about how he remembers seeing men bring mules to town, each laden with eight to 10 native heads. Other laws called for collective punishment for the whole village for crimes committed up to the destruction of the entire village and all of its inhabitants. These policies led to the extinction of as many as 150 Native nations.

Mighty Black Californians Last Stand
The Empire of the California Blacks became a victim of Spanish colonialism, European expansion, the slave trade and gold rush. Many communities, men, women and children were killed, enslaved and worked on ranches in California. Others were shipped to Europe and down south as part of the slave market. Other California Blacks courageously continued fighting and defending their ancestral land until the mid to late 1870’s. The California Gold rush would strike the fatal blow and the impending destruction of the California’s first civilization, Utla – At – Lan; Land of the Blacks.

Like the California Mongoloid Indian races who were hunted down and killed in California at 50 dollars a head, the same genocidal practice was carried out against Black Aboriginals in Australia who were made to reject their Native culture and accept European ways. The Black Californians suffered a similar fate.

During the 1800’s, after many years of war with Spanish invaders of the Southwest, with Mexico and the United States, the empire of the California Blacks was completely diminished. The survivors blended into the African American Black population of California and the United States. Their descendants still exist among millions of Black Californians today. One such family is the Blackmons of California.

One book shows a picture of Black Californians being marched into slavery by Spanish Californians on horseback. There is no doubt that since California was basically like the rest of the United States and partially segregated up until 1965, the Black Californians who were found in the state when the Spanish arrived and continued to survive did not disappear. As the pictures above show, these Blacks were similar in features to Black Africans. Therefore, it would be easy for them to have become a part of the Black population of California at a time when the Black population was as high as 40 percent of the area. Hence, the Black Aboriginal population of California today is the decedents, including the decedents of Africans from Mexico, freed slaves and free Blacks from the Eastern and Southern United States.

In retrospect, it is important that Blacks in California understand our true history and realize that California was named after a real Black Queen, a descendant of one of the first Black civilizations of the Americas, the Olmec and that the original inhabitants of California, the people who have any claim and rights to any land, are the American Indians and Black Californians who are in fact part of the Black population of California today. The problem with the condition of Blacks in California today is the lack of knowledge of ownership and the lack of knowledge of history. Blacks in California see their economic, political and numerical power and influence as a shrinking minority in California, a state that has a significant Black population for hundreds and thousands of years. Propositions that seek to hide the racial and ethnic origin of people continue the same genocidal policy carried out against the American Indians and Black Californians.

The shrinking numbers of Blacks in California (from 40 percent before the 1800’s to 7 percent today) has to do with the deliberate policies of genocide being implemented against Blacks by political trickery and policies. In fact, propositions that aim to not classify race and ethnicity in California were just as evil as the “hygiene” program taken in Europe during World War II to determine who is “Aryan” and who was not. This time, the aim is to “Anglicize” the population, yet maintain a strata caste system where Blacks after losing their identity and culture, will be nothing but inferior copies of Anglo-Saxons. The Anglo-Saxons will continue to dominate and maintain their culture, but Blacks will simply be copying them while being kept down without a culture, without an identity and, in many ways, without the essence and soul of what makes a people unique.

Facts, artifacts, pyramids, ancient bones, stone statues, cave art, calendars and archeological discoveries within the last decade have all concluded that there was indeed a Black warrior nation in California and they were at war with the Spanish, Mexican Spaniards and U.S. settlers until the mid 1800’s. According to the Black Book (Random House, 1974), the settlers and their armies were “relieved” when the Black Californians were pacified.

The time has come for today’s Black Californians to know their history and understand who was always in this state and who came during the period of colonialism. The idea that a person from another land whose ancestors commit genocide against American Indians and Black Californians has more right to any part of California is utterly absurd. There is no difference between a Spanish invader and settler and a French or Dutch one. They are still settlers and they cannot claim what is not theirs. Perhaps that is why the history of the Black Californians has been obscured and perhaps that is why the genocide policies against Black Californians has led to a decrease in the population and here are the reasons it should never be left out of history.

Earthy Paradise: Island of California

“Now I tell you about the strangest thing ever found anywhere in written text or in human memory… I tell you that on the right side of the Indies there was an island called California, which was very close to the region of the Earthly Paradise. This island is inhabited by black women, and there are no males among at all, for their life styles was similar to that of the Amazons. The island was made up of the wildest cliffs and the sharpest precipices found anywhere in the world. These women had energetic bodies and courageous, ardent hearts, and they were very strong. Their armor was made entirely of gold- which was the only metal found on the island- as were the trappings on the fierce beast that they rode once they were tamed. They lived in very well designed caves. They had many ships they used to sail forth on their trade expeditions.”
Garcia Rodriquez de Montalco, Las Sergas de Esplandian. 15th Century Explorer, tells the story of a people who reign, grew and prospered in a land for thousands of years. Whose population at it heights is said to be well over 35 million, that were very wealthy, religious, and spiritual, worshiping the earth, stars, sun, moon and planets. Adventurous people, highly educated, family oriented, lovers of the entire universe, plants, animals and the weak. These multi cultural decedents of the Olmecs, West Africans, Egyptians and Black Chinese, bloodline and ancestry date back and encompass the greatest ancient civilization that has ever existed on the planet.

The West Africa’s Mali Empire (City of Gold) The 19th – 25th Egyptian Dynasty of the Kings of Kush, Remises the Great and the First Empire of China’s Shang Dynasty, also known in pop culture as the Yellow Emperor. The discovery of an unknown people, omitted and lost to history, who have been relegated to myth, fairytale or alien encounter all over the world. An advance civilization that is responsible for the most monumental feats ever achieved. With advance technology, mathematics, geometry, astronomy and sacred science, stone and mound building skills, that has never been duplicated or explained. They say history is recorded by the winners. However in this instance, that is a rule that needs to be challenged.

Ancient American history started thousands of years before Columbus and the many people who populated the land and past existence is everywhere in Pyramids, Stone Heads, bones, tools, maps, calendars, mummies, cave art and many more artifact examples, However all seems to go unnoticed or written off as “origin unknown.” This lost civilization was a global people and the original ancient Americans were decedents of the Olmecs, whose bloodline flows through West Africa, Egypt and China. The founding fathers and mothers of the great kingdom of Utla (America) the Empire, of AtLan, on the island of California.

* The original name Utala, a Kushite word meaning to vacate. When Northern and Southern Utla united as one nation (Southern and Northern California) the plural name was used. The word for Utla became AtLan. Two feathers adorned the California Blacks headdress, confirming the union of North and South America as was the custom when upper and lower ancient Egypt allied.

* This educational presentation was produced to dispel the European myths, deceptions, collusion, and intentional cover-ups of one of the Greatest Civilizations that ever lived. A forgotten chapter in ancient American history whose time has come.

American Holocaust Quotes
“The truth of the first settlers has been deliberately changed, “said Lowell. “because the truth was too shameful.”
“They stayed in America because their mission had been a failure, they came in search of gold.” – Robert Beverly, American Holocaust
“There is no force in Indian societies, no prisons, no officers to inflict punishment.” – Ben Franklin

The First Thanksgiving Horror
The account that Europeans brought civilization to America is the biggest European lie of all time.

The fact that this revisionist history has been and is still being told and taught is another reminder that the genocide continues.

The first settlers almost starved to death. If it were not for the help of the natives they would have. Many Europeans died during this time; they committed suicide, and suffered from mental illness and also alcohol addiction.

The first settlers took Indians as prisoners and forced them to teach them the art of farming.

“THEY HAD SPENT MOST OF THEIR DAYS DIGGING RANDOM HOLES IN THE GROUND IN SEARCH OF GOLD INSTEAD OF PLANTING CROPS. SOON THEY WERE STARVING AND DIGGING UP PUTRID INDIAN CORPS TO EAT.” – NATIVE AMERICAN

After teaching the settlers farming and saving them from starvation on the first ‘Thanksgiving ‘ the colonist offered the natives a toast to eternal friendship. Soon after the chief, his family, advisers and two hundred followers dropped dead of poison.

Hidden History of California Blacks
The true history of California Blacks is a powerful story of global genocide on a magnitude that is unbelievable. 100 Million Black and Brown people were wiped off the global landscape and American continent with barely a trace. The history of a magnificent empire is nonexistent in pop culture, myths and Euro’s – visionary’ history.

1492
Let the infamous date, 1492 be spoken and heard by indigenous ancestors from now until eternity. That date marks the beginning of the horrific, evil execution and genocide of indigenous Americans, who were predominantly Blacks of Africa, Asia, and early history Europeans add mixture; a fact that has been conveniently and deliberately left out of World History.

This global conspiracy, in addition to the ‘proven practicality of genocide’ (owed much to English and United States history), was the inspiration for Hitler’s concentration camps.

Hitler praised the ‘efficiency’ of America’s extermination of the ‘red savages.’

In the 1700s
80% of the United States’ budget went to attacking Indians and taking their land. 20% of the budget went to education and other spending. 80+% of the Native American population was enslaved or wiped out. George Washington and other USA officials approved of the extermination of the Indian race.

Pursue Indians until extermination – Thomas Jefferson
Extermination must continue to be waged until the Indian becomes extinct a complete Erritication of the Native race. – Theodore Roosevelt

California, Greed Gold and Genocide
No group of people suffered as much from the Gold Rush as the California Blacks and other native peoples.

Estimation of the numbers in the area of what is now called California before the arrival of Europeans ranged from ten million three hundred and fifteen thousand or more, a calculation never officially reported.

Even before the gold rush the population had plummeted to 5 – 2.5 million due to slavery, the Euro invasion and the Christian Document of Discovery. Plus, Mexican, Indian and Spanish wars, along with vigilantly and militia mass murder. All had taken a toll on the original people.

In the 1800s
On April 12, 1850, California passed the so-called “Act for the Government and Protection of the Indians.” This act allowed any white settler to force any Indian found to be without means of support to work for him.

Since Indians could not testify against a white person in court any Indian could be seized as a virtual slave under the law. Many settlers didn’t even bother with the law and purchased Indian children outright. Fortunes were made off the sale of women and children.

The editorial appearing in the California Marysville Appeal newspaper illustrates this practice: It is from the mountain tribes that the white settlers draw their supply of kidnapped children, educated as servants, and women of purpose of labor or lust.

These are partners of the state whose soul occupation has been to steal young children and squaws and dispose of them for handsome prices to the settlers who… willing to pay $50 to $60 dollars for a young Digger to cook and wait upon them, or $100 dollars for a likely young girl.

1851
In 1851’s message to the California Legislature, then California Governor Peter H. Burnett promised:

” A WAR OF EXTERMINATION WILL CONTINUE TO BE WAGED BETWEEN THE TWO RACES UNTIL THE INDIAN RACE BECOMES EXTINCT.”

1852
California paid one million dollars in revenue from the gold fields – to militias that hunted down and slaughtered natives at will.

1853
Newspapers cheered on the statewide campaign. In 1853 the Yreka Herald called on the government to provide aid to:

“ENABLE THE CITIZENS OF THE NORTH TO CARRY ON A WAR OF EXTERMINATION UNTIL THE LAST RED SKIN OF THESE TRIBES HAS BEEN KILLED.

EXTERMINATION IS NO LONGER A QUESTION OF TIME – THE TIME HAS ARRIVED, THE WORK HAS COMMENCED AND LET THE FIRST MAN WHO SAYS TREATY OR PEACE BE REGARDED A TRAITOR.” OTHER NEWSPAPERS VOICED SIMILAR SENTIMENTS.

In order to clear the way for white settlement, the United States Senate in 1853 authorized these committees to negotiate treaties with the Indian tribes of California.

Of the over 250 indigenous nations, eighteen treaties were negotiated. The handful of tribes agreed to give away millions of acres of land in exchange for the U.S. Governments promise to protect the lands with adequate water and game to sustain them and their way of life.

This land would have contained about 7.5 million acres, or 7.5% of the land area of California. The eighteen tribes started moving to their new land location only to find out that the Senate had refused to ratify their treaties. Instead of treaties.

“A system of military post ” on government-owned reservations was implemented. Each would put into place a ” system of discipline and instruction; The cost of the troops would be ” borne by the surplus production of Indian labor.” No treaties were to be negotiated; instead they would be “invited to assemble within these reserves.”

1855
Towns offered bounty hunters cash for every Indian scalp they obtained. Rewards ranged from $5 dollars for every severed head in Shasta City in 1855 to 25 cents for a scalp in Honey Lake in 1855.

Indigenous women were forced to wear the severed head of their husbands or sons around their necks (like a neckless) for months.

Other regions passed laws that called for the collective punishment for the whole village for crimes by Natives, up to the destruction of the entire village and all of its inhabitants.

These policies led to the devastation of over two hundred native California communities.

1857
In 1857, the state issued four hundred thousand dollars in bonds to pay for anti – Indian militias.

1870
In 1870, the California census only recorded the population at 32,000, however that did not take into count the blacks and other natives who ran away and joined ranks with the Seminoles, and/or other Native nations, or those who picked up and moved to safer, locations.

The black Califians were not a part of Northern California’s eighteen tribe treaty negotiations of 1853, they continued to valiantly fight the oppressive invaders until the late 1890s, the gold rush signaled the beginning of the end for the lands first people.

The gallant, California blacks, one of the last great native nation to stand up and defend their ancestral homeland — America ( Utala – AtLan ) Land of the blacks, was over.
