California Genocide

Archaeological evidence found that the site at the North Bend of Sand Creek was not part of the 1864 massacre since the artifacts were dated to 1866. Two musket percussion caps, and two  other 58. Caliber minié balls were found and a mountain howitzer shell. Other cartridge cases and bullets were found from the South bend to just south of the North Bend determining the size of the site. .

There is archaeological evidence of refugeeism in which natives would build burial mounds for their deseased. These burial mounds were created purposefully and were places where natives could come together as a community. In these places the Natives had freedom to be who they were pre-colonization. It is possible to see how these were created during times of colonization and display the geographical movements that natives would make in order to avoid more massacres.

There is historical evidence that the native Wiyot people were being persecuted and shot. There was a raid of over 600 white men who decided to commit genocide on the natives to the fact that one of the natives had shot and killed one of the white men during a quarrel. They were murder with axes, hatchets and guns.

Archaeological Evidence of Violence and Refugeeism in California[edit]
Research made in 2015 on native burial mounds in the San Francisco Bay area found that natives would move to different places in order to avoid genocide. The movement can be traced by the dating of the burial mounds since multiple native tribes found these burial mound spaces as places of religious and cultural freedom.
