We Are the Land is the first and most comprehensive text of its kind, centering the long history of California around the lives and legacies of the Indigenous people who shaped it. The book deftly contextualizes the first encounters with Europeans, Spanish missions, Mexican secularization, the devastation of the Gold Rush and statehood, genocide, efforts to reclaim land, and the organization and activism for sovereignty that built today's casino economy.

This is an important book on the Indigenous people of California -- as well as a major rethinking of the history of California. This will be a great backlist title for the region for years to come. Paperback, 384 pages.
