lf only aged Mount Diablo could break its silence and tell us of the romance and pageantry it has seen, we should know much more of our land's glorious past. The aged mountain would tell us of the land's earliest known inhabitants, the ln- dians. They lived in small villages called rancherias and roamed the hills and valleys for food since they did not know the art of planting and growing. Because of the mild climate, they wore very little clothing, the men went naked and the women wore small skirts of grass or deerskin. Their chief pleasures were singing and dancing: these played an important part in their religion. The men, wearing headdresses, danced while the Women, swaying their bodies, kept time. Now, large piles of sea shells, in which many old relics have been found, are the only traces left by these Indians, who moved into the wilderness soon after the Spaniards entered the area.
