On Sept. 27 — California Native American Day — Newsom signed seven of Ramos’ bills all at once, each of them related to the state’s Native American community. “For far too long California’s First People and their history have been ignored or misrepresented,” Ramos said in a news release about the signing of Assembly Bill 1821, which requires that the impact of the state’s mission and gold rush eras on Native Americans is taught in public schools. “Classroom instruction about Spanish colonization and gold rush periods fails to include the loss of life, enslavement, starvation, illness and violence inflicted upon California Native Americans.” Ramos is the first Native American from a California tribe elected to the state Legislature.
