In 1840, the majority of California's population was composed of Native Americans. At that time, various indigenous tribes inhabited the region, living in diverse communities and practicing different cultures and traditions. Following the arrival of European settlers and the subsequent Gold Rush in 1848, the demographic composition of California would change significantly.
