Tehama County Museum Lecture
The Tehama County Museum will host its third lecture on Saturday, May 10 in its 2025 Lecture Series. The presentation will feature Steve Schoonover speaking on 'Before Ishi: The Life and Death of the Yahi,'. Schoonover will be speaking about his book by the same title, which he describes as an effort to unravel the history of the Yahi from the myths that have been woven around Ishi. The presentation will begin at 1 p.m. in the Marty Graffel Annex of the Museum at 275 C St., in the City of Tehama. The Museum will be staffed and open to the public from 1-4 p.m. Admission to both the museum and the presentation is free and donations will be greatly appreciated. Schoonover is a long-time Northern California newsman, spending about 40 years with the Chico Enterprise-Record. A resident of Chico since 1963 and a 1975 graduate of Chico State University. His book is an attempt to reconstruct the history of the Yahi Indians of Northern California, a history the author feels was mangled by a common infatuation with the myths surrounding Ishi, the 'last survivor of the tribe.' The focus on Ishi has allowed the Yahi's remarkable adaptation to a hostile environment to be ignored. The author also believes the facts of the destruction of the tribe have been replaced with yarns which have been widely accepted, even though in his view, they don't make any sense. For decades, Schoonover, aided by his wife and fellow reporter, Laura Urseny, have been in search of Ishi's heritage and the fate of his people, the Yahi. They 'backpacked in 1995 from the Sacramento Valley floor near Red Bluff to Childs Meadow, in a bid to replicate the Yahi annual migration.' Schoonover's dogged investigation of the historical record challenges claims made in books about Ishi, and paints a nuanced picture of gruesome violence against native populations in the mid-1800s in Butte, Tehama and Shasta counties. He attempts to burst the 'Ishi myth,' that he was starving, that he and the Yahi were part of the Mill Creek Indians, 'the last survivor of a tribe that had terrorized Northern California for years. The book focuses on the life of the Yahi and surrounding tribes, and the coming of white settlers. There will be opportunities to ask questions at the end of the presentation.

RND Party To Prosecute France Before International Judicial Bodies
National Democratic Rally will work to prosecute the French government before international judicial bodies for its crimes committed in Africa, in cooperation with all political and human rights forces in African countries that were victims of French colonialism, to unify efforts, especially after the African Union adopted a resolution at its last summit classifying colonialism as a war crime against humanity and a crime of genocide committed against African peoples, Mustapha Yahi, Secretary-General of the National Democratic Rally, confirmed on Saturday from Biskra (southern Algeria). During a popular gathering on the occasion of the twenty-eighth anniversary of the founding of the party, which coincides with the anniversary of the nationalization of hydrocarbons and the founding of the General Union of Algerian Workers, Yahi addressed the provocations of the French government, which is subject to far-right lobbies, working to poison bilateral relations between the Algerian state and its French counterpart, exacerbate the situation in the Maghreb region and target national security, calling on the Algerian government to develop a strategy to confront the hostile media war targeting Algeria from several laboratories and dark rooms, hosted and financed by several hostile regimes and entities, according to his expression. Yahi also renewed his party's determination to work with all living forces to demand that France respond to Algerian demands related to the memory file, starting with its recognition of its crimes committed over a century and thirty years against the Algerian people, and compensating the victims of those brutal crimes, including the nuclear explosions, and recovering the resistance fighters' skulls, archives and looted property, which are crimes against humanity punishable by international law, according to his description. On this day, Yahi praised Algerian diplomacy's strong and honourable positions under the leadership and guidance of President of the Republic Abdelmadjid Tebboune and its achievements in making Algeria's voice heard. Algerian diplomacy defends fair causes worldwide, especially the Palestinian and Sahrawi causes, and the interests of the peoples of Arab and African countries in the face of old and new colonial ambitions. During his speech, Yahi returned to the beginnings of the party's founding, recalling all the sons of the National Democratic Rally 'who left us, founders, executives and activists, and foremost among them the martyrs of national duty who stood firm in the face of blind terrorism and sacrificed their lives so that this beloved homeland would remain united, sovereign, and proud in the face of terrorism and move towards a bright future of progress and prosperity.' The spokesman explained that the establishment of the party was not an added number in the political arena, but rather came to strengthen the national republican corridor in that dark period of Algeria's history and to be a space for all patriots convinced of the unity of destiny and saving Algeria from the clutches of extremism and terrorism, from the good mujahideen (freedom fighters), from the sons of the righteous martyrs, from the sons of the mujahideen, from women, from farmers, from youth, from workers, from journalists and other loyal patriots, headed by the martyr Abdelhak Benhamouda, a victim of barbaric terrorism, according to Mustapha Yahi. On the eve of the holy month of Ramadan, the RND party, through its Secretary-General, expressed its satisfaction with the government's efforts to ensure the availability of widely consumed products in national markets and called on the government to stabilize prices.
