Alston and Woodruff each had to his name a dynamic body of work exploring the aesthetics, struggles and historical consciousness of the African Diaspora. Their business in California, however, carried them to new ancestral landscapes. They crisscrossed the state in search of historic landmarks and artifacts, retracing by highways and automobile the centuries-old footsteps of Black explorers, settlers and leaders. Along the way, they encountered not only their triumphs and tragedies, but also the hardships these pioneers faced in their battle[s] for a place in the sun. Their mission was to assemble a new memory site in Los Angeles out of many, one that would illuminate the accomplishments of their forebears while arguing for full integration into postwar life.

“California is a fire-prone landscape,” says Don Hankins, professor of geography and planning at California State University, Chico. But generations of Native Californians prevented disaster by controlled burning, which protected their villages and the environment they built.

On this edition of Your Call, we’re speaking with William J. Bauer, co-author of
We Are the Land: A History of Native California, which centers the long history of California around the lives and legacies of the Indigenous People who shaped it.
Scholars estimate at least 310,000 Indigenous people lived in what is now California. After the demographic catastrophe of the Gold Rush, the population declined from about 150,000 to 30,000. Bauer says it’s time to correct the misconceptions that exist about California Indian, and California, history. Rather than being peripheral to or vanishing from California history, Indigenous people are a central and enduring part of the state s history because of their relationship to the land.
