Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the culture of the Nisenan, a group indigenous to Northern California, specifically areas along the foothills of what are today Nevada, Sierra, Yuba, Sutter, and Placer counties. While historically the Nisenan have been classified as part of the Maidu people, the tribe corrects this mis-identification in their literature.
