Description
Professor Richard Carrico is one of the foremost authorities on the prehistory and archaeology of San Diego County. Carrico is a specialist in California Indian History and the rich culture and ethno-history of southern California tribes. The first edition of Strangers in a Stolen Land covered 1850 to 1880. This expanded edition takes a far more inclusive view, updated to cover the half-century between 1880 and 1935. It begins with what is known of the first inhabitants, not at a later point based on the start of the European intrusion. Three primary tribes make up the recent pre-historic and historic inhabitants of the Anza-Borrego region: Cahuilla to the north and east, the Northern Diegueno to the west and the Kumeyaay to the south.
Features:
- Comprehensive Coverage: Expanded edition covers the Spanish, Mexican and American periods and offers a historically and culturally accurate description of the Kumeyaay (Ipai/Tipai), Luiseno, Cahuilla and Cupeno Indians.
- Maps and Illustrations: Details, maps and illustrations not previously published.
- Meets the requirement for college-level courses in Indian or Ethnic Studies.
Discover the fascinating history of the California Indians who fought the advancing tide of non-Indian settlement and tribal marginalization at all levels and through every time period. More importantly, you will uncover a story of intense pride, heroic efforts, determination and successful adaptation of the California Indian tribes that inhabited this region.
