Trump mocked for telling California to rake its forests like Finland to reduce fire risk

5. California became a state in 1850

with less than 93,000 of the nearly 40 million who populate it now.

In the thousands of years prior to 1850, who raked California's forests?
The Chinese invented the rake around 1100 BC.
I'm not sure how much the North American Indian used a rake for forest management but I would guess extremely little if at all.
