Using census records, newspapers, oral histories, and stories, this article excavates the histories of three nineteenth-century women—a landed Californiana, a soldier's wife, and an indigenous woman—who lived in northern Alta California before the U.S. invasion.

It closes by attempting to answer a new question: "How did women's status before the invasion influence their chances for survival after 1848?"

The term Hapa is Hawaiian in origin and roughly means 'half'. Recently, many mixedrace Asian/Pacific Islanders on the mainland began identifying with and using the term Hapa to create organizations specific to their needs. Largely recognized as a "California phenomenon," the number of Asian-descent multiracials identifying as Hapa is ever increasing. Here I investigate the use of the term Hapa historically, as well as its current use in California. I then discuss the potential political implications of Mixedrace Asian/Pacific Islanders coalescing under the term. ; Taniguchi, Angela S. and Heidenreich Linda.
