The settlers took advantage and used the Indians to retrieve more gold. Half of the miners in the Gold Rush were Indians. They were called, "diggers". The settlers saw that Indians held little value in gold and much more interest in things the settlers could get easily, so the Indians were cheated out in unfair trades for things. Some like gold for glass beads. Some Indians discovered how much gold was valued to the settlers and started to demand for more valuable things.
