For the indoctrinated American, it is a romantic 19th-century era where vast wealth and fortune were discovered out west in a land known as California. For the American Indian, it is none of these things.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This name glorifies the brutal murder and displacement of countless of Indian families and lands stolen by the white invader and other prospectors both free and enslaved. This was a government-sponsored massacre validated by an executive order declared on January 6, 1851 by California\u2019s first governor, Peter Hardeman Burnett, stating \u201cthat a war of extermination will continue to be waged between the races until the Indian race becomes extinct.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gold Rush years were effectively a genocide resulting in the declination of an estimated 275,000 American Indians before it began, down to a population of 30,000 when it was over. The Maidu, Nisenan, Koukow, Miwok, Pomo, Ohlone and Yokut tribes were among the most severely affected by the onslaught of the Forty-Niners and other invaders in 1848 and onward. These whitewashing efforts continue today with the exclusion of California tribal history in grade school curriculums conveniently leaving the history of this dark period out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1888\" height=\"1984\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/superBowl2_WEB.jpg?resize=1888%2C1984&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/superBowl2_WEB.jpg?w=1888&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1888w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/superBowl2_WEB.jpg?resize=238%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 238w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/superBowl2_WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C807&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/superBowl2_WEB.jpg?resize=457%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 457w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/superBowl2_WEB.jpg?resize=370%2C389&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/superBowl2_WEB.jpg?resize=800%2C841&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/superBowl2_WEB.jpg?resize=20%2C21&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 20w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/superBowl2_WEB.jpg?resize=185%2C194&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/superBowl2_WEB.jpg?resize=740%2C778&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/superBowl2_WEB.jpg?resize=1110%2C1166&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1110w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/superBowl2_WEB.jpg?resize=400%2C420&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/superBowl2_WEB.jpg?resize=1600%2C1681&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/superBowl2_WEB.jpg?resize=600%2C631&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/superBowl2_WEB.jpg?resize=46%2C48&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 46w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Illustration: Gus Reyes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kansas City \u201cChief\u201d name serves as an instrument for the invader\u2019s attack against the American Indian.
