My children are half-Pomo. Since the author was mentioning atrocities against the California indians a mention of the Bloody Island Massacre might have been in order (see attachment). I wont go into a history of the CA indians here, but will just mention the massacre at Clear Lake, CA. The short story is: "A number of the Pomo, an indigenous people of California, had been enslaved by two settlers, Andrew Kelsey and Charles Stone, and confined to one village, where they were starved and abused, until they rebelled and murdered their captors. In response, the U.S. Cavalry slaughtered at least 60 of the local Pomo." |
