Most traditional Shasta villages were located along the Klamath, Shasta, Salmon and Scott Rivers and their tributaries. “The California Gold Rush“ drew in an influx of outsiders into California, in the late 1840's, who were eager to gain 'mineral wealth'. For the Shasta People, this was a devastating process, as their lands soon had thousands of miners who were operating along various waterways. Conflicts arose as the outsiders didn't respect the Shasta People, or, their homeland. Introduction to new diseases and fighting, against invading Americans rapidly reduced the number of Shasta people. The Shasta People of Bear Creek were active in the “Rogue River Wars“ and assisted the Takelma People, until, they were “forcibly removed“ to the Grande Ronde and Siletz Reservations, in Oregon. In the late 1850's, the Shasta People of California were also “forcibly removed“ from their territories and also sent to the same two distant reservations. By the early years of the 20th century approximately 100 Shasta people remained. Some Shasta descendants still reside at the Grand Ronde and Siletz Reservations, while others are in Siskiyou county at the Quartz Valley Indian Reservation or, Yreka. ------------------------------------------------- I claim no ownership of any of the clips, video and music expressed in this employ my borrowing of them with much respect and thanks.
