lived:

The native Americans that lived here were from the Nisenan people. As shown in the pictures, the Nisenan used
the older, harder rocks as grinding stones for making acorn meal. The ground meal was made into mush, gruels,
and cakes. Pine nuts and berries were plentiful and there was good hunting for deer. Bridgeport, where the forks
of the Yuba river meet, was excellent for fishing salmon and trout. The Nisenan people cremated their dead. In this
area that was done on the hill just outside the North boundary of the ranch. Alice McGonagal, a long time resident\
of the area (see picture below), described how the elders of the local tribe came every year to the cremation site to
honor their forefathers. This continued until the early 1960s when he property was bought by a wealthy
lumber/mining family and was bulldozed for a building.
In honor of Native Americans that lived here for thousands of years, the floor design
was commissioned from Samuel Two Bears. The floor is hand made of cherry and
birch.
This is a view from the hill just above the ranch
on what used to be the McGonagal ranch. This
is a good example of views that the Nisenan
enjoyed daily.
There is a book by Richard B. Johnson titled “HISTORY OF US: Nisenan Tribe of the Nevada City Rancheria”
that will contain much more information.
