Maidu Way of Life

Maidu Indians. They were known for their unique eating habits and their migration

patterns between the Sacramento valley and the Sierra Nevada mountains. They had

society divisions that were fairly standard, but somewhat unique. Their society structure

was not complex because of constant moving from place to place. Also the Maidu had

many rituals to their society which included ones of death and celebrating life. Also their

society also included some aspects of religion. I plan to tell of how they managed to

communicate even though there was no form of written language used by any group of the

Maidu. Finally I am going to explain some of the aspects of Maidu food production.

The migration patters of the Maidu were fairly easy to understand. They had

only a few things to consider when choosing the next habitat that their tribe would make

their new home. The first factor was temperature. In the Winter when it was freezing and

the Sierra Nevada mountains they migrated down to the Loomis basin. In the Summer

when it was extremely hot in the basin, they migrat

did run out of acorns they would simply pack up their belongings and move to a new site
