There's a Chicatac-Adams County Historical Park in Gilroy.
I'm guessing the Sayanta they are referring to is the Zayante area of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

>>”These cultures stewarded the land by setting intentional fires to open up space by tending to certain plants, removing other plants, and using the cycles of nature and understanding the cycles of nature to have plenty of abundance,” she said.
>>And life changed when the Santa Cruz mission was built in
1791.
There are still people setting fires to this day
And “nice” that they blame the Christians for “change”

Van Stolk said one of the ways people can celebrate this day is by supporting your local Tribal Bands.
Can’t think of one off the top of my head...
Good thing for them the Europeans took over, otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to roll their slaves from other tribes around in wheeled carts, and would have had to drag them here and there on their travois setups...the whole invention of the wheel that somehow escaped them.
Do you mean Columbus Day? If there is to be a 'indigenous peoples' day make it a different day.
Sayanta becoming Zayante makes sense.
As for:
“”(They were) taken from their land, taken from that part of their culture and their religion and forced to work in the missions,” said Van Stolk. “This is why we have fewer tribal bands and even fewer languages spoken in California now, is because it didn’t matter what tribe you were from, if you were an indigenous person, you were brought to the missions against (your) will.””
I’ve never understood how one mission with a handful of Spaniards could control all people over a hundred or more square mile area.
“...I think Indigenous Peoples Day is here to honor that and not erase any part of history”.
Are these the “natives” that walked from Mongolia across an ancient land bridge up by Alaska?
The history of the world is the stronger people overrun the weaker ones, kill the men, rape the women and enslave the rest.
A fact.
Find me one of those conquering peoples who bowed down, begging forgiveness, and destroyed its own symbols of its history in a paroxysm of guilt! Oops! there is one!
Cool! I wonder where they came from?
And killed off the mammoths, mastodons, giant ground sloths, wood ox, giant bison, giant beaver, American camel, American horses, Doedicurus, short-faced bear, American lion, American cheetah...
And where did they come from.
Here is a hint: Not this continent.
well considering the earth isnt that old this isn’t possible
Neat, but they aren’t indigenous if they came there 12,000 years ago.
They came from somewhere else. Have they been traced back further?
“(They were) taken from their land, taken from that part of their culture and their religion and forced to work in the missions,”
Why yes. And weepy Ms. Van Stolk won’t mention those were Spaniards that did that so they could baptize the neophytes which made them subjects of the Spanish King.
God Forbid she should criticize the Sacred Hispanics. That might mean Watsonville and Salinas are populated by the Bad People instead of Victims of the Evil Anglos.
But that’s the fact, Jack. The people pretending to be the oppressed now are in fact the original oppressors and are in no way “indigenous”. No way are they Ohlone or Uypi, unless you think those people walked here from Nayarit. They don’t.
“some tribes have been living in the Santa Cruz County area for at least 12,000 years.”
That is interesting, the last ICE age ended about 12800 years ago. I wonder what the dates for tribes in Central America are.
Did the migration start during the ice age?
Did the tribes in Santa Cruz arrive from the South as the ice retreated or came down from the North?
They must be pretty old then, eh?
