532 ECHOS-1995-256 eng Delaplane, Kristin Indians, grizzlies succumb to newcomers Oct 22, 1995 Information for this article came from the Solano Genealogy Society and the Yolo County Library. In early days, Putah Creek passed just south of what is now the city of Davis. There along the banks, Patwin Indians - the Pooewin - built their villages some 1,500 years ago. Archaeologists have determined that they lived in dome-shaped structures common to Patwin tribes. Sadly, these natives became extinct shortly after the white men arrived, as it proved they were fatally susceptible to the newly introduced diseases. Hence little is known of these people. vacahc@gmail.com 256 53783467322 Publication/Article CaVaHC http://www.solanoarticles.com/history/index.php/vhcdb/256/ Read Article http://www.solanohistory.net/articles/256/256.1.pdf PDF Document
