“Prior to contact with Europeans, the California region contained the highest Native American population density north of what is now Mexico.“
Native Americans settled in California 19,000 years ago or earlier, at least 18,500 years before the arrival of the conquistadors.
Given your own ignorance of history, I really doubt you’re even old enough to remember Silicon Valley when it was just a bunch of orchards.
If you really want to live in a place similar to California before Silicon Valley, there are plenty of states within the US that can offer that experience right now. You don’t need patience, you just need courage to experience it; that is of course if you were pining for less development and population density. Reading what you’ve previously written again, if what you really wanted was ethnic purity (which I misread as wanting to live in less developed areas) then I have other words for you. That type of post is not welcome on HN
California indigenous who settled and mestizos who colonized share the same haplogroup d dna.
They are the same people.
And for what it's worth the massive anglo/white immigration into California has been tantamount to ethnic replacement - not just in California but all over this continent.
So excuse me if I don't cry a river over fewer transplants.
