Abstract

Between 1850 and 1929, Indians on northern California's Round Valley Reservation experienced the transformation from a hunting and harvesting people to an agricultural workforce. Using oral history and archival sources, this essay traces the social, cultural, and economic adaptations of Round Valley Indians. By the Great Depression, many Round Valley Indians had successfully adjusted to the economic changes of the period by incorporating wage labor into their seasonal economies, recreational activities, and religious beliefs.
