Crypt (from chat) found a link of a map from 1925 of native tribes in California. it's quite interesting. here is the link:
http://www.californiaprehistory.com/tribmap.html

Crypt also states native tribes in the area are: Athabascan, Algonkin, Yukian, Hokan, Penutian, and Shoshonie (aka Uto-Aztekan)
Train adds to this list: Alcoma & Apache

Train advises there is a herb the natives used to smoke, called: Salvia. it's used as a source to get deep into the mind and soul

well, that's it! anyone find something to add or change, please do so! all in all it was a super night for ghosthunting! thanks to Tim, Jay, Donna and Norene.. and to all our friends in chat.
