Scope note
Style and culture of a group of Native Americans living in Northern California in the central Sierra Nevada, in the drainage area of the Feather and American Rivers. Their culture is noted for basket making. When Europeans arrived, they were hunter-gathers; however like many other California tribes, they groomed their gathering grounds and tended local groves of oak trees to maximize production of acorns, a dietary staple.
