Description

The discovery of gold transforms California and draws fortune seekers from around the world. But for Native peoples, the Gold Rush brings invasion, dispossession, violence, and forced labor. As California becomes an American state, the promise of opportunity for newcomers comes at a devastating cost to the Indigenous peoples who have called this land home since time immemorial.
