Similarities - Both Alaskan Natives and California Natives were attacked, slaughtered and pushed off of their lands by travelers.
Differences - Alaska Gold Rush was more significant because there were very few people that left with less than $5,000... some even became millionaires! Also, Alaska's gold is still being mined! In fact, my grandfather and family still run a wealthy gold mine every summer.
In California most travelers left with very little more money than they arrived with.
However I'm not going to do all your homework! Do some research you'll appreciate American History more! Have a good day!
