Nomlaki Range

West of the Sacramento Valley, the northern Coast Range rises above the foothill country of the Hill Nomlaki. Streams including Stony Creek flow from its eastern slopes towards the Sacramento River. Nomlaki villages had their own summer places in the mountains, where people gathered food before returning to lower ground. The forests supplied acorns, pine nuts, berries and mushrooms, while deer and other game were hunted among the hills. Across the mountains to the west lived the Yuki, with whom the Nomlaki traded.
