government. Many Native people suffer from post-traumatic stress and historical trauma, much like what was experienced by the survivors of the European holocaust.
The Boarding School’s forced assimilation policy quickly and efficiently eliminated the use of native language and
culture from the Nisenan youth; at the same time instilling a sense of shame about their roots and their families.
Nisenan Elders have recounted their experiences with emphasis on the shame factor.
With the help of community members such as Dr.
Tanis Thorne, Dr. Sheri Tatsch, Judith Lowry and Wallace
Hagaman, and community organizations like Sierra Streams
Institute and the Nevada County Historical Society, the
Nisenan have endeavored to reverse much of the misinformation that was being spread in the community in recent
decades.
The Nisenan have also begun exploring avenues to establish an archival and cultural center. It is crucial that all
Nisenan documentation be gathered and housed in one location to ensure the true and correct history remains intact
for generations to come.
Doris Foley prepared this map
of known Indian camps for the
Nevada County Historical Society
Museum Edition Bulletin in 1953.
She identified the numbered
camps as (1) Storms’ Ranch; (2)
Pleasant Valley; (3) Day’s Ranch;
(4) Indian campoodie near
Nevada City; (5) Seims Ranch
at Orchard Springs; (6) Loney
Ranch; (7) Barbara Ranch on
Clear Creek above Penn Valley;
(8) Butler and Squirrel Creek
ranches; (9) Rattlesnake Creek;
(10) Selby Flat near Nevada City.

Rose Kelly Enos, Nisenan
matriarch and culture bearer.
