So many people coming out here are driven by that idea, so Native Americans have hurt a lot by these people who think this land is their's.]]> 2017-03-20 16:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/4025281/7izr9s5fq867/wish/161243479 4025281 https://padlet.com/4025281/7izr9s5fq867/wish/161558747 I've struck gold!  Since I arrived here after traveling across the US from my home in Maryland, I've had some good luck with my mining.  Although, now that so many people, especially the Chinese, have recently arrived and started mining here, I've had some trouble finding gold, and with these harsh conditions I kind of regret coming out here. I hate those Chinese! They are stealing our gold! This is our country and they should not be able to come and take resources from it. The Chinese are never welcome on our land!]]> 2017-03-21 16:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/4025281/7izr9s5fq867/wish/161558747 4025281 https://padlet.com/4025281/7izr9s5fq867/wish/161562159 I say those mineros should leave my land!  They have stolen from me, and they don't respect my rules or customs.  I was once the most powerful Californio.  I had thousands of acres of land, but Americans, Chinese, and Mexicans have ravaged it in search of gold.  I feel like I am being kicked out of my own land.  Those mineros are cruel and are so selfish.  They have kicked me out of my land, but they have also killed many of the natives here too.  They don't belong here and they have done too much harm.  Out with the mineros!]]> 2017-03-21 16:13:45 UTC https://padlet.com/4025281/7izr9s5fq867/wish/161562159 4025281 https://padlet.com/4025281/7izr9s5fq867/wish/161572115 2017-03-21 16:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/4025281/7izr9s5fq867/wish/161572115 4025281 https://padlet.com/4025281/7izr9s5fq867/wish/161573276 2017-03-21 16:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/4025281/7izr9s5fq867/wish/161573276 4025281 https://padlet.com/4025281/7izr9s5fq867/wish/161876078 Mineros=miners]]> 2017-03-22 16:13:21 UTC https://padlet.com/4025281/7izr9s5fq867/wish/161876078
