California’s Little-Known Genocide

In 1850, around 400 Pomo people, including women and children, were slaughtered by the U.S. Cavalry and local volunteers at Clear Lake north of San Francisco.
11/16/2017 - The History Channel published an article called "California’s Little-Known Genocide," which was shared on Facebook by the International Indigenous Youth Council: ​

"In just 20 years, 80 percent of California’s Native Americans were wiped out. And though some died because of the seizure of their land or diseases caught from new settlers, between 9,000 and 16,000 were murdered in cold blood—the victims of a policy of genocide 
sponsored by the state of California and gleefully assisted by its newest citizens.

​"Today, despite all odds, California has the United States’ largest Native American population and is home to 109 federally recognized tribes. But the state’s treatment of native peoples during its founding days—and the role the slaughter of Native Americans played in establishing California’s prosperity—is little known today."
