Gold rush-era California was a complex landscape full of diverse histories. In this video, we focus on the impact of the gold rush on Native American communities, explore some of the little-known stories of women, and examine Jewish and Chinese immigrant narratives. This video is part of a series of educational resources that draws from The CJM's original exhibition Levi Strauss: A History of American Style.
