Words and expressions
California has the distinction of the most multicultural state in the USA, having attracted people from nearly every country in the world.
The customs and languages of the immigrants live on in their new home.
However, it is likely that Native Americans were living in California at least fifteen thousand years ago.
Scientists believe that native Americans crossed the Bering Strait from Asia to Alaska by means of a land bridge which existed in prehistoric times.
Two centuries later, the Spanish had settled in most parts of south America and along the northwest coast of what we now call the United States.
Of the first Spanish to go to California , the majority were religious men, whose ministry was to teach the Catholic religion to the natives .
Many died or returned home, but most remained in California to make a life for themselves despite great hardship.
By the time California elected to become the thirty-first federal state of the USA in 1850, it was already a multicultural society.
Today , Chinese-Americans live in all parts of California , although a large percentage have chosen to stay in the “Chinatowns” of Los Angeles and San Francisco .
