Mewuk

The Lake Miwok lived southeast of Clear Lake, along Cache Creek, upper Putah Creek and the valleys beyond. Their neighbors included the Pomo, Wappo and Coast Miwok. The lake's spring runs of hitch, a fish called ṣátti by the Lake Miwok, provided an important harvest that could be dried and stored. In the early nineteenth century some Lake Miwok entered the Spanish missions, including the mission founded at Sonoma in 1823. A smallpox epidemic reached the Clear Lake region in 1837, taking many lives.

The later city of Oakland lies here.
