I have been asked a few times about the location of Onamonalonton's
"headquarters" in the California redwoods. In my Fellowship article in 2009 I
put forth a theory that the location was at "a place on the Klamath River"
(Hupa tribe legend) near Mt. Shasta. This location fits within the range of
California redwoods that extends all the way to the northern border of our
state. See page 7 of link below for what I published previously:

“Many of his [Onamonalonton’s] later descendants have come down to modern
times among the Blackfoot Indians.” _[i]_

%201st%20Nations.doc#_edn1) If this statement was verified using the
Western, historical, linear method of descent (which can’t be done at this
point), it would place Onamonalonton securely among the peoples who speak what
we call an Algonkin (Algonquin) dialect in our anthropology

I have since done more research on the linguistics. The evidence we have
places the only incidence of the Algonkin dialect in California among the
Yurok and other tribes (related to the Hupa) of the Shasta region.
There are several other reasons besides language and tribal literature
(oral tradition) to place Onamonalonton's headquarters in the north Shasta
region of our state which I plan to publish in detail.

I realized after I wrote the Fellowship article in 2009 that my theory does
not agree with apocraphyl lore associating the Grizzly Giant big tree with
Onamonalonton's headquarters. This lore (not found in the Urantia Book)
is recirculating at present. I have done much more scholarship to back up
my Mt. Shasta theory that is not in the 2009 article and I hope to publish a
new version of "the civilization of Onamonalton" in the future.

How do I account for the discrepancy between my research based on
linguistic and anthropological evidence with the unpublished information given
by
previous contact commissioners involved with publication of the Urantia
Book?

I confess that my belief is that an error was made either in transmitting
or receiving this information. It was not done intentionally, just that
information handed down became garbled in some way. I have further speculated
that folks in Chicago were too far away from our geography and thus easily
fastened on making the connection of Onamonalonton's headquarters with the
Grizzly Giant Urantia legend.

I have researched California Indian history (and other regions) for many
years and I can find no support for the contention that Onamonalonton's
headquarters were in Yosemite. Future publication of my findings will lay out
my
evidence and argument in detail to support the theory that his
headquarters were located near the mountain that is sacred to many Indian
tribes, Mt.
Shasta.
