Mountain Maidu

The Mountain Maidu lived among the meadows, streams and forests of the northern Sierra Nevada. Tásmam Koyóm, a meadow around Yellow Creek southwest of the upper Feather River, was a place of springs and ceremony within their homeland. Other village and burial sites lie among the mountains and meadows farther north. Maidu families gathered plants, fished and hunted across a landscape where resources changed with the seasons.
