The correct answer to this open question is the following.
It is correct to say that for thousands of years Native Californians before the Spanish arrived, lived as close to an earthly paradise as possible.
Why? Because these California native people lived comfortably in the coastal regions where the climate was good to make a good living.
Historians think that the first settlers of this region were Eastern people who crossed the Bering Strait from Asia.
These native people from California lived separated from other tribes in the United States and Mexico's territories due to the California mountain range and deserts.
These first Californian people were the Maidu, the Yokuts, the Karok, the Mojave, and the Paiute. They farm the fertile soil of some regions and they learn fishing. So yes, we could say they lived in a paradise for years before the arrival of the Spaniards.
