October 2003 following USA's and UK's Iraq invasion San Francisco professor Stephen Zunes' review of USA's 1983 Grenada invasion: October 2003: This 1983 invasion of Grenada was 'an easy victory for the United States eight years after its defeat in the Vietnam War and just two days after the deadly attack against U.S. forces in Lebanon. It established the precedent for 'regime change' by U.S. military intervention and served as an ominous warning to the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua that the Reagan administration could go beyond simply arming a proxy army like the Contras and actually invade their country outright. It also led to a sudden rise in President Reagan's popularity, according to public opinion polls. Despite the fact that the invasion was a clear violation of international law, there was widespread bipartisan support for the invasion, including such Democratic Party leaders as Walter Mondale, who would be Reagan's Democratic challenger for the presidency the following year, Review by Stephen Zunes, an associate professor of politics and chair of the Peace&Justice Studies Program at the University of San Francisco, and serves as the Middle East editor for the 'Foreign Policy in Focus Project'

Native American Ohlone people: Ohlone Native American people of the Northern California coast, as in pre-colonial times, the Ohlone lived in more than 50 distinct landholding groups, and did not view themselves as a single unified group. They lived by hunting, fishing, and gathering, in the typical ethnographic California pattern. The members of these various bands interacted freely with one another. The Ohlone people practiced the Kuksu religion. Prior to the Gold Rush, the northern California region was one of the most densely populated regions north of Mexico - Rumsen people (also known as Rumsien, San Carlos Costanoan, Carmeleno), one of eight groups of the Ohlone people of California. Their historical territory included coastal and inland areas within what is now Monterey County including the Monterey Peninsula. Today, like other Ohlone, Rumsen do not have federal recognition but continue to sustain their culture and community presence in central California. This is despite the fact the Rumsen signed a treaty with the USA (Treaty of Camp Belt 13 May 1851), that was then taken to Washington D.C. and hidden for 30 years while the USA government attempted to learn if the land and water sources they have taken from, and then 'given' to these people, had gold in their streams or rivers

Salinas city: Salinas city, the county seat of Monterey County, with a population of 163,542 citizens in 2020, the most populous city in Monterey County. Salinas is an urban area located in the Monterey Bay Area, just south of the San Francisco Bay Area and 16km southeast of the mouth of the Salinas River, and serving today as the main business, governmental and industrial center of the region, known for the floral industry, grape vineyards, vegetable growers, and especially known as the 'Salad Bowl of the World' for its large, vibrant agriculture industry.
History of Salinas city: History of Salinas city, located on land inhabited, settled and owned by Native Americans known as the Esselen prior to 200 AD. Between 200 and 500 AD, they were displaced by the Rumsen group of Ohlone speaking people. The Rumsen-Ohlone remained as the inhabitants of the area for approximately another 1,200 years, and in the 1700s the group of native inhabitants were contacted and recorded to Europe by foreigners, the first Spanish explorers of the Salinas area. Manila galleons may have occasionally ventured up the California coastline and stopped in Monterey Bay between 1602 and 1769. Upon the arrival of the Spanish - formerly themselves colonized by the 'Imperium Romanum', large Spanish land 'grants' were initially issued for the Catholic Missions and also as bonuses to soldiers. Later on after Mexican independence, smaller land grants continued to be issued for ranchos where mostly cattle were grazed. One of the many land grants was the Rancho Las Salinas land grant, part of which included the area of modern-day Salinas. As a result of the many new cattle ranches, a thriving trade eventually developed in cattle hide shipments, shipping primarily out of the Port of Monterey. In 1848 California officially became a part of the USA. This transition followed several years of battles in the Salinas area with John Fremont flying the American flag on the highest peak of the Gabilan Mountains and claiming California for the USA. Before the transition to another foreign administration, Monterey had been the capital of California. For a short while after the transition, California was ruled by 'martial law', originating in Europe.
'Tirus ua corx' or 'Carmel River': 'Carmel River' (in Rumsen language 'tirus ua corx') is a 66km river in Monterey County that originates in the Ventana Wilderness of the Santa Lucia Mountains. The river flows northwest through the Carmel Valley with its mouth at the Pacific Ocean south of Carmel-by-the-Sea, at Carmel Bay - Ecology of Carmel river region, that flows through various habitats beyond its bankside riparian zon, starting in mixed evergreen forests at higher elevations, including coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens), Coast Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii) and rare Santa Lucia firs (Abies bracteata) the most endemic fir in North America. At middle elevations the Carmel River flows down through montane chaparral and woodlands, and at lower elevations, to remnant coastal sage and chaparral and coastal prairie, concluding through minor coastal sand dunes at its Pacific mouth.

Origin of people rushing to the goldfields since 1848: By the beginning of 1849, word of the 'Gold Rush' had spread around the world, and an overwhelming number of gold-seekers and merchants began to arrive from virtually every continent. So-called 'forty-niners' came from Latin America, then gold-seekers and merchants came from Asia, primarily from China, arriving in 1849 at first in modest numbers to 'Gum San', the name given to California in Chinese. The first immigrants from Europe, reeling from the effects of the Revolutions of 1848 and with a longer distance to travel, began arriving in late 1849, mostly from France, with some Germans, Italians, and Britons. It is estimated that approximately 90,000 people arrived in California in 1849, about half by land and half by sea. By 1855, it is estimated at least 300,000 gold-seekers, merchants, and other immigrants had arrived in California from around the world. The largest group continued to be USA citizens, but there were tens of thousands each of Mexicans, Chinese, Britons, Australians, French, Latin Americans, together with many smaller groups of miners, such as African Americans, Filipinos, Basques and Turks. People from small villages in the hills near Genova, Italy were among the first to settle permanently in the Sierra Nevada foothills. They brought with them traditional agricultural skills, developed to survive cold winters. A modest number of miners of African ancestry had come from the Southern States, the Caribbean and Brazil. Several hundred Chinese arrived in California in 1849 and 1850, and in 1852 more than 20,000 landed in San Francisco.
Regional and global effects of the 1848-1855 'California Gold Rush': Since 1850s arrival of hundreds of thousands of new people in California within a few years, compared to a population of some 15,000 Europeans and Californios beforehand, had many dramatic effects, including a boom in transportation-goods investment in the USA, USA's population, government, commerce, leading to statehood for California on 9 September 1850, growth of population between 1847 and 1870, as e.g. the population of San Francisco increased from 500 to 150,000, as the Gold Rush wealth and population increase led to significantly improved transportation between California and the East Coast, further including on the one hand the fate of Native Americans (the California genocide and unfree labor in California), and on the other hand a world-wide economic stimulation, and more effects - 1858-1861 Pike's Peak Gold Rush or 'Colorado Gold Rush', the boom in gold prospecting and mining in the Pike's Peak Country of western Kansas and southwestern Nebraska that began in July 1858 and lasted until roughly the creation of the Colorado Territory in February 1861. An estimated 100,000 gold seekers took part in one of the greatest gold rushes in North American history

Shasta Cascade region in the northeastern and north-central sections of California: Shasta Cascade region of California is located in the northeastern and north-central sections of the state bordering Oregon and Nevada, including far northern parts of the Central Valley and the Sierra Nevada mountain range, as historically the Shasta Cascade region was home to Native Americans of the Modoc, Maidu, Okwanuchu, Paiute, Shasta, Wintu, and Yana tribes, and sub-groups of those tribes. The first non-Native Americans entered the Shasta Cascade region by coming south along the Siskiyou Trail from Oregon, or north along the Siskiyou Trail from central California or the San Francisco Bay Area. These earliest explorers were probably British and American fur-trappers and traders in the 1820s and 1830s, followed by the 1848-1855 California Gold Rush-era leading to the first non-Native American settlements in the area.

Commercially, this second-largest estuary in California is the site of the largest oyster production operations on the West Coast, producing more than half of all oysters farmed in California. The Port of Humboldt Bay (Port of Eureka) is a deep water port with harbor facilities, including large industrial docks at Fairhaven, Samoa, and Fields Landing, designed to serve cargo and other vessels. Beginning in the 1850s, the bay was used extensively to export logs and forest products as part of the historic West coast lumber trade, but lumber is now infrequently shipped from the port.
21st century 20 named settlements on the coastal plain around the bay estuary, suburbs of Eureka: In the 21st century 80,000 people reside on the shore of the bay in at least 20 named settlements on the coastal plain around the bay estuary, mostly suburbs of the City of Eureka.

History of Humboldt Bay region's indigenous people: History of Humboldt Bay region's indigenous people, as the Wiyot people were the first to inhabit the region's Mad River and Eel River valleys, estimated to arrive at Humboldt Bay circa 900 A.D. The Wiyot language is related to the Algonquian language of the Great Plains. The Wiyot Tribe in the 21st century is located in California's Loleta town, where European settlement began in the early 1850s although Wiyot people had inhabited the area for generations. Potato farming was the biggest agricultural use of land until the 1870s, when depleted soil and declining prices caused a turn to dairying. Since European invasion known as Swauger or Swauger's Station for local 'landowner' Samuel A. Swauger, the town was renamed Loleta in 1897, reportedly to meaning 'pleasant place at the end of the tide water' in the language of the original Wiyot native Americans.
Since 19th century history of Northwestern Pacific Railroad: Since 19th century history of Northwestern Pacific Railroad, as in the late 1800s both the Southern Pacific Railroad 'SP' and 'AT&SF' had great interests in building lines north from San Francisco to Humboldt County to transport lumber south, as the AT&SF controlled line south from Eureka through Humboldt County. Both railroads planned to build a line north, the AT&SF starting with a boat connection in present-day Larkspur and the Southern Pacific, starting at its interchange in American Canyon, north through Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Humboldt counties to finally terminate in Eureka city.

Klamath River and basin, the second largest in California by average discharge: Klamath Basin, the region in Oregon and California drained by the Klamath River. It contains most of Klamath County and parts of Lake and Jackson counties in Oregon, and parts of Del Norte, Humboldt, Modoc, Siskiyou, and Trinity counties in California. - The Klamath River, the Klamath is the second largest river in California after the Sacramento River by average discharge. It drains an extensive watershed of almost 41,000 km2 that stretches from the arid country of south-central Oregon to the temperate rainforest of the Pacific coast. The Klamath is the most important North American river south of the Columbia River for anadromous fish migration. Its salmon, steelhead and rainbow trout have adapted to unusually high water temperatures and acidity levels relative to other rivers in the Pacific Northwest. The numerous fish were a major source of food for Native Americans, who have inhabited the basin for at least 7,000 years. - Tributaries of the Klamath River
Klamath River Basin, native Americans in the 21st century: Klamath River Basin native Americans in the 21st century, as th river tribes include the Klamath, Yurok, Karuk, Hupa, and Shasta people. The movement of forced creation of reservations in the emerging USA resulted in the loss of culturally, ecologically, and economically significant land of indigenous peoples. While many of them are federally recognized sovereign nations, they are still fighting to reclaim the land and resources that were taken from them. The Klamath River tribes mission statements include the preservation of their cultural heritage along with their land and the resources it provides. The Klamath River basin tribes are deeply connected and entwined with their land. The Klamath river, the food it provides and the spiritual significance it holds, is centrally situated in the identities of all four tribes that live along the Klamath. - 'Klamath' spoken around Klamath Lake in what is now southern Oregon and northern California, is a member of the Plateau Penutian language family, which is in turn a branch of the proposed Penutian language family, rich in ablaut, much like Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic languages. As of 2019, revitalization efforts are underway with the goal of creating new speakers.
