Yet, indigenous tribes in California still relied on storing food for winter seasons, which included “nuts, seeds, and dried meat and fish”. Since animals migrated, vegetation is seasonal, and also weather needs to be taken into account.

It seems that acorns and other nuts took priority among indigenous tribes because of the archaeological evidence of “mortars and pestles”. Grinding acorns requires a lot of resources and time to gather and process them. Which implies an area where location is more permanent.

When it came to gathering acorns it took everyone in the tribe because within weeks they would become mature. There was communal participation when it came to obtaining food.

Soups and bread were made from the grinding of acorns.
