Wintun
The Wintun are members of several related Native American peoples of Northern California, including the Wintu (northern), Nomlaki (central), and Patwin (southern).[2][3] Their range is from approximately present-day Lake Shasta to San Francisco Bay, along the western side of the Sacramento River to the Coast Range. Each of these tribes speak one of the Wintuan languages. Linguistic and archaeological evidence suggests that the Wintun people probably entered the California area around 500 AD from what is now southern Oregon, introducing bow and arrow technology to the region (Golla 2011: 205).

gollark: Copyright is different to patents, but yes, this is rather awful.
gollark: That makes some sense I guess.
gollark: That... doesn't seem to actually be true, unless it's just not documented there?
gollark: The exclusivity bit doesn't last long enough to explain it either.
