Wherever you are in this hemisphere, you are on Native land. Never forget, that before the Spanish arrived in California, for thousands of years, from sea to shining sea, this was indian country, with more than 300,000 Natives living here, representing more than 100 tribes, each with its individual traditions and cultures, most completely lost by the arrival of settlers. Write that down, and burn it into your brain.
“The history of genocide casts a shadow over California. It hovers over the land of the endless summer, over Disneyland, over the surfers, the Beach Boys, the palm trees, the Hollywood Sign … and yet, there is also a story of California Indian resistance and survival that is miraculous.” This was said by my hero, Benjamin Madley, he is an associate professor of history at UCLA and has been on a more than decade-long odyssey to document and reveal the existence of this government-sponsored genocide.

Never forget that the Russians, European-American colonists, and Spanish missionaries' arrival on the Pacific coastline forever changed the native people’s way of life. The first known interaction with the Natives in California was in the Monterey area in 1602, when Sebastián de Vizcaíno’s Spanish expedition was searching for a safe harbor for their ships. Well over 100 years then passed with little attention paid to Alta California. Then, Gaspar de Portola’s expedition of Spanish missionaries arrived in the Monterey area in 1769 and Spain began colonizing. Erasing the identities of the California indigenous people who entered the mission, in exchange, they were given a wool shirt with long sleeves called a cotón, and a wool blanket. The women were also given a wool petticoat and men received a breechclout to cover their groin area. They were then forcibly baptized into the Catholic faith, and thrown into labor camps that were filthy and disease ridden.
The San Rafael Mission was established where Luis Arguello, later the first provisional governor of California and his band of Spanish soldiers led expeditions, removing Pomo people from their lands, bringing them to the new mission. Five years down the road, California became part of the Mexican Republic, and the Mexican government gave out large tracts of Pomo land to its settlers, the foreigner/white colonists brought deadly disease and epidemic.
In one instance, a Russian ship brought a case of smallpox, the indigenous people did not have immunity to such diseases, the tribe populations heavily decreased, and the bones of thousands “ left unburied, bleached the hills” of Sonoma and Napa counties. As all this happened, the domestic stock animals brought by the foreigners consumed all of the native foods and damaged the gathering areas while they grazed. Foods the locals depended on for survival. Stream channels were disturbed and often re-routed, land was blasted away and huge amounts of soil entered streams and rivers, destroying the habitat of fish and other aquatic species that once were food for the indigenous people.
Ten years later there was a massive malaria outbreak, and the following year the missions were authorized by the crown to “convert” the Natives in a ten-year period. They had until 1844. They were to surrender their control over the mission’s livestock, fields, orchards and buildings to the Indians in 1844. The padres never achieved their goal and the lands and wealth were then stolen from the Natives. The California Mission System was not the romanticized fantasy we were fed in fourth grade. Debunked. Unpack that. Accept it.

The baby fuzz on her lip had now developed into a growth of unusual proportions for a woman. A disgruntled miner who’d lost his temper in Bannack and a bundle at her table gave her the name “Madame Moustache”.
Queens of the Mines features the authentic stories of gold rush women who blossomed from the camouflaged, twisted roots of California. In this Chapter, we will meet Eleanor Dumont, the Queen of Exhilaration from America’s Largest Migration, The Gold Rush.
Queens of the Mines features the authentic stories of gold rush women who blossomed from the camouflaged, twisted roots of California. In this chapter, we are taking a different approach than we have been doing. As we continue learning about the fabulous story of self-determination, freedom of movement, and opportunity for free association with one of California’s most famous Stage Drivers. I am Andrea Anderson, This is a true story from America’s Largest Migration, The Gold Rush. This is Queens of the Mines.
In Vermont in 1812, Mary and Ebenezer Parkhurst, a young couple, had three children, Maria, Charlotte, and Charles. After the sudden death of one of the children, the couple abandoned the other two. They were sent to an orphanage in Lebanon, New Hampshire where they were raised under the care of an unkind man named Mr. Millshark. Men had a greater advantage over girls in the battle of life. Charlotte, the youngest of the two, became aware that women had few economic opportunities. She felt her only chance was to be a seamstress, laundress, teacher or sex worker. So, when she was 12 years old, she left Maria, her older sister at the orphanage, stole a few pieces of boys clothing and ran away to Worcester, MA. Charlotte then took on the name of her deceased brother, Charles, or, Charley.

Former President Barack Obama said “The United States is home to 5% of the world’s population, but 25% of the world’s prisoners. Think about that.”
In light of the Black Lives Matter movement and in effort to share knowledge and information, this quick bonus episode of Queens of the Mines is made to discuss the importance of the Documentary 13th that was released on October 7, 2016. It is available on Netflix, or for free from Netflix on YouTube. The film is Not Rated for some graphic scenes and images of violence. This episode is solely based on my reflection of the film, I did not do this research myself. I highly encourage you to watch the film, I can not relay everything you need to hear in my own episode. So, I hope you watch it.
13th explores over 150 years of the history of the incarceration and disempowerment of minority communities in America, showcasing the racial criminalization they have endured from the end of slavery to now. It painfully explains the country's messy racial history and provides an easy to comprehend backdrop to the current state of racial violence and resistance. It was directed by Ava DuVernay an American filmmaker and director and features leading experts, scholars, journalists and politicians and activists, some of whom I will quote in this episode, including Angela Davis who said "13th is probably the most important movie you'll ever see. I have watched this multiple times and I intend on watching it more, and every single American citizen should as well. This information is so important. It is maddening, yet it’s presentation gives me hope.
“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
“except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted”

Over the years, there has always been confusion about the orgin of Cinco de Mayo in the non-mexican communities, and today I hope to clarify a few things on that subject. The history of Cinco De Mayo unviels the importance of the landscape of North America as a whole, and, did you know, it was very first celebrated in our very own Gold Rush town of Historic Columbia?

A quick note and a song.
Hang in there, Queens.
Queens of the Mines features the authentic stories of gold rush women who blossomed from the camouflaged, twisted roots of California. She was one of the richest and most powerful people in California, and she was a black woman. Known as the “mother of civil rights in California”, one of San Francisco’s most notorious madams, a savior of the downtrodden, an exploiter of the wealthy and the “Queen of Intuition”, while breaking racial taboos she played a remarkable role in the early years of San Francisco, and I want you to know her name.

Queens of the Mines features the authentic stories of gold rush women who blossomed from the camouflaged, twisted roots of California. Today’s episode is a Flash Forward, to 1918.
In the International Women’s day episode, In one of the stories, I mentioned the life of the architect Julia Morgan who’s mother Eliza was the daughter of Albert O. Parmelee, a cotton trader who I called a self-made millionaire. I want to state that no white man’s millions from the cotton trade at that time, were self made. I am embarrassed that I did not catch what I wrote. It is obvious that the millions made in the cotton trade were built off of the sweat of enslaved men and women. When you hear about white privilage, this is an example. People today are still benefeting from the fortunes that thier ancestors had made by expoliting other humans. The wealth, security and lifestyle some have inherited, is privilaged.
At the time of recording this podcast, there are just under 200,000 humans affected by COVID 19. The death count is closing in on 12,000 and 75 million Americans are under lockdown. I share a portion of the reflection that has gone viral from the italian psychologist F. Morelli.

Who were the first women who came to California, and who was already here?
Legendary Native, Spanish, American and Immigrant women, who had made their own way, in a time where women were not so welcome to do so.
Rarely heard of women and it was also their stories that played a part in shaping the future of the United States, in one way or another, and I want you to know their names. The golden state’s Whoremistress Extraodinaire begins her grueling voyage to California via Panama.
*Some characters are created by me, but represent true stories of other 49ers who they could have crossed paths with.

Sarah's Soapox from The Youreka Podcast Network. This week's topic is about Feminism.
Are you missing live music? Are you missing the voice of the male narrator for Queens of the Mines? Well you are in luck, you can see Slim Cessna perform this Friday, September 25th, for the Roots in the Jar Online Music Festival, presented by our friends in Belgium. You can also access is live from the Slim Cessna’s Auto Club Facebook page Friday at 3pm Pacific time, which is midnight in Europe.
I know we have not heard Slim’s voice lately, and that is not without cause. Slim’s father had a terrible accident while me and Waylon were out visiting them in Colorado. He is still in recovery. Slim has been taking care of his family, day and night during the healing process, and I did not desire adding anything more to his plate.
If you have become a fan of Slim’s voice in the show, a fan of his band, a fan of our theme song, or just a fan of him being an awesome supportive partner to me in general, you can tip Slim at the show! He is working on getting a new computer to produce evenb more amazing content for people like us, to drool over. So tune in this Friday, the 25th for the Roots in the Jar Online Music Festival, live from the Slim Cessna’s Auto Club Facebook page Friday at 3pm Pacific time.
