Book Review

Chief Marin: Leader, Rebel, and Legend. By Betty Goerke. Foreword by Greg Sarris. (Berkeley, CA: Heyday Books, 2007. xvii + 292 pp. Illustration, maps, appendices, notes, bibliography, index. $21.95, paper.)

California indigenous history is complex and often painful. We often see this history through the eyes of outsiders (non-Indians) or from a group perspective. Because of the European invasion and the domineering attitude of the invaders, the individual voices of California Natives are often ignored or completely left out of history. In her work Chief Marin: Leader, Rebel, and Legend, Betty Goerke searches for and presents an individual perspective of one man's life and his impact on northern California. This book is a detailed history of the indigenous peoples of the northern part of the San Francisco Bay area, the Coast Miwok. Utilizing archeological and historical sources, the author contextualizes one man's life and his influence on both the San Francisco Bay area and California history.
