Known
as Maidu Indian Country, this area was home to a tribe
of California Indians who were skilled in the art of
basketry. This entire region extended with large numbers
of well-beaten trails, connecting the different villages
and hunting and fishing grounds. Trade routes sprawled
throughout this territory, allowing contact with neighboring
tribes.
