History
For over 2,000 years the Nisenan people and culture thrived and grew until our region became one of the most densely populated areas of a hunter-gatherer culture in all of North America. What was the secret to their success? Through selective burning, gathering and pruning, the Nisenan helped the land to prosper and produce an abundance of food and material resources that in its "wild" state could not have sustained or supported their growing population.
