The Nisenan village in today’s Arden Arcade was Kadema, a beautiful land on the American River at Watt Avenue, today crossed by a levee and dotted with fine homes. When I am there, I take the time to feel the spiritual history of the Nisenan and am blessed by it…
“The Valley Nisenan” was published in 1929 and written primarily with the help of Tom Cleanso, an elderly blind Nisenan of about 70 years of age. Tom was the last inhabitant of Kadema. He was impoverished and depended on a local hop field owner (probably the Clement Horst family) and friends and relatives, in the Indian Community living Sacramento. Yet he reportedly managed at times to travel several miles on his own in Sacramento. Tom passed away in the late thirties…
