My people don't have stories either.

But of course there are stories from the CA Native Americans Not just stories but a lot of knowledge.

I'm reading "The Ohlone Way" and "The Way We Lived" for an drawing I'm working on. We don't have seasons in terms of extreme weather in the coastal part of sunny CA but we sure have seasons of differences in weather, when plants bloom and seed. If you do some research you will find the Ohlone (who are not one tribe but a group of them more or less) lived in such great harmony with the earth and each other in abundance that they knew exactly when to harvest this or that.

There's a lot of variation through the year, not just if it snows or not. Seasons also meant knowing exactly when to harvest wild grains, acorns, a host of plants and food.

An incredible culture until certain people (us ahem) arrived and just ruined it all.
