By delving into historical records, conducting oral histories, and drawing upon the expertise of anthropologists, archaeologists, ecologists, and psychologists, We Are Not Animals sets out to unravel the enigmatic identity of the Indigenous people in the Santa Cruz region and their remarkable survival strategies throughout the nineteenth century. Spanning from 1770 to 1900, the linguistically and culturally diverse Ohlone and Yokuts tribes navigated through three distinct colonial encounters with Spain, Mexico, and the United States. In his captivating book, We Are Not Animals, Martin Rizzo-Martinez meticulously traces tribal, familial, and kinship networks through the mission chancery registry records, unveiling captivating stories of individuals and families while demonstrating how ethnic and tribal differences, as well as political dynamics, shaped their survival strategies within the diverse population that called Mission Santa Cruz home.
We Are Not Animals sheds light on the poignant tales of Indigenous individuals and families, unveiling how Indigenous politics informed their choices amidst the backdrop of immense loss and violent disruption. This insightful work offers a profound exploration of the complex interplay between history, culture, and survival, providing a valuable contribution to our understanding of the past and the resilience of Indigenous communities.
