About 13,000 years ago a man died on the steep banks of Arlington
Canyon on Santa Rosa Island, one of California's Channel Islands.
The early dates for Arlington Springs Man, as he came to be known,
and archaeological sites in the Northern Channel Islands, overturn
the once widely held belief that the first humans to enter the
Americas came by foot over the Bering Land bridge-perhaps, instead,
they found their way to the Americas by boat. During the thousands
of years between the arrival of those first seafarers on the
Channel Islands and the arrival of the British, Spanish, and
Russians, diverse waves of indigenous groups swelled coastal
California's population. This book chronicles how indigenous
peoples of the past survived and thrived in the shifting
environment of coastal California. One can't help but wonder what
life would be like today for the California Indians if the
Europeans and Russians had never stepped ashore. What we do know is
that after hundreds of years of exploration, the Spanish and
Russians colonized coastal California, establishing powerful
institutions that changed the lives of the California Indians
forever. During this stunning era of change, rebellion, resistance,
cooperation, and persistence, the first coastal Californians wove a
complex tangle of cultures.
