An Ethnobotany of Baja California's Kumeyaay Indians AN ETHNOBOTANY OF BAJA CALIFORNIA’S KUMEYAAY INDIANS _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Anthropology _______________ by Michael Alan Wilken Spring 2012 iii Copyright © 2012 by Michael Alan Wilken All Rights Reserved iv DEDICATION This work is dedicated to Baja California’s native peoples—past, present, and future; and to all who work for the preservation of Baja California’s native cultures and landscapes. v ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS An Ethnobotany of Baja California’s Kumeyaay Indians by Michael Alan Wilken Master of Arts in Anthropology San Diego State University, 2012 The Kumeyaay Indians (also ‘Iipay–Tiipay, Ipai–Tipai, or Diegueño in the United States, or Kumiai in Mexico) have inhabited the landscapes of northern Baja California, Mexico, and southern California since long before European contact, originally making a living as mobile hunting, gathering, and fishing peoples in the region’s varied environments. The division of Kumeyaay territory in 1848 by two distinct nation states imposed on the region an international boundary as well as separate political and economic structures, cultures, and languages. Historical processes have reduced Kumeyaay territory and population, and transformed indigenous lifeways, yet a few elder Kumeyaay still speak their native language and maintain cultural knowledge of the environment. In this thesis, I explore the questions of how contemporary ethnobotanical knowledge of Baja California’s Kumeyaay Indians can make new contributions to scientific research of diachronic human– plant interactions in the study area, and how this knowledge can inform Kumeyaay cultural and linguistic revitalization through its incorporation in interpretive exhibits. I synthesize information from interviews conducted with 16 Kumeyaay plant specialists, documenting Kumeyaay knowledge of traditional uses for 47 native plants as food, medicine, tools, construction materials, and ritual resources, covering indigenous nomenclature, plant scheduling, harvesting, processing, and consumption, as well as cultural meanings associated with plants. I review archaeological, historical, ethnographic, linguistic, and botanical literature to situate the Kumeyaay ethnobotanical data in a regional and diachronic context. I discuss how this study contributes new information on the Kumeyaay and their interactions with the vegetative environment, and provide examples of how I have applied this information to support efforts toward Kumeyaay cultural and linguistic revitalization. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE ABSTRACT ...............................................................................................................................v LIST OF TABLES .....................................................................................................................x LIST OF FIGURES ................................................................................................................. xi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ................................................................................................... xiv CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION .........................................................................................................1 2 METHODOLOGY ........................................................................................................7 3 PREHISTORIC LANDSCAPES OF THE KUMEYAAY REGION ..........................10 Environmental Setting ...........................................................................................10 Sources: Kumeyaay Prehistoric Archaeology .......................................................12 Prehistoric Cultural Chronology ............................................................................13 4 ETHNOHISTORY: LATE PERIOD LIFEWAYS IN TRANSITION .......................16 Sources ...................................................................................................................16 Ethnohistorical Landscapes of the 18th and 19th Centuries ..................................18 5 ETHNOGRAPHY: DREAMED, REMEMBERED AND CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPES ............................................................................................................26 Sources ...................................................................................................................26 Ethnographic Context of Ethnobotanical Knowledge ...........................................30 The Dreamed Landscape: Kumeyaay Origins .................................................30 Remembered Plantscapes: Ethnographic Studies of Kumeyaay Hunting, Gathering, and Fishing Economy .....................................................33 Material Culture Associated with Plant Use ..............................................36 Healing and Plants .....................................................................................37 Contemporary Kumeyaay Landscapes ............................................................38 Juntas de Nejí (and Peña Blanca)...............................................................40 San José De La Zorra .................................................................................41 San Antonio Necua–Cañon De Los Encinos .............................................42 La Huerta ...................................................................................................42 vii Santa Catarina ............................................................................................43 6 SPEAKING OF PLANTS: KUMEYAAY LANGUAGE ...........................................44 Linguistic Sources ..................................................................................................44 Language Family Connections ..............................................................................45 Kumeyaay Language Today ..................................................................................46 7 RESULTS: NATIVE PLANTS AND THEIR ETHNOBOTANICAL USES ............53 Ethnobotanical Sources ..........................................................................................53 Presentation of the Data .........................................................................................54 Field Recordings: Citations and References ..........................................................57 Field Notes .............................................................................................................57 Native Plants and their Uses ..................................................................................57 Adenostoma fasciculatum (Rosaceae) .............................................................58 Adenostoma sparsifolium (Rosaceae)..............................................................59 Agave deserti (Agavaceae) ..............................................................................60 Agave shawii (Agavaceae) ..............................................................................60 Ambrosia monogyra (Formerly Hymenoclea monogyra) (Asteraceae) ..........65 Anemopsis californica (Saururaceae) ..............................................................66 Arctostaphylos sp.

Its unique boundaries border Mexico, Arizona and California. Thriving along the banks is an invasive and dangerous plant called salt cedar. Its roots drink deeply, helping to lower the water table and adding large deposits of salt to the soil. As its roots and branches grow, its prolific and highly flammable branches threaten wetland ecosystems and create a significant fire hazard to neighboring communities when wildfires occur. It is also choking out the native willow, cottonwood, and mesquite trees the Cocopah people use for cultural and spiritual purposes.

Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Inger S. B. Brodey Todd Ramón Ochoa Marsha S. Collins Tanya L. Shields Madeline G. Levine © 2016 Donato Fhunsu ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Donato Fhunsu: The Kongo Rule: The Palo Monte Mayombe Wisdom Society (Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe) A Book by Lydia Cabrera An English Translation from the Spanish (Under the direction of Inger S. B. Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s.

Los kumiai residen en San José de la Zorra, los pai pai en Santa Catarina, los cochimís en La Huerta y los kiliwas en el ejido Arroyo de León, en la región serrana de San Pedro Mártir De acuerdo con el Sistema Nacional de Indicadores sobre la Población Indígena de México, en 2000, mil 350 personas conformaban las cinco etnias nativas de Baja California, de las cuales 80 eran kiliwas (sólo cinco, todos mayores de 70 años de edad, son hablantes de su lengua madre); 400 pai pai, 360 kumiais, 260 cucapás y 240 cochimís. Hace unos 3 mil años penetraron a Baja California varias corrientes migratorias provenientes del sur de Estados Unidos. Eran grupos de filiación lingüística yumana. Durante milenios se mantuvieron nómadas y su economía dependió básicamente de la recolección, complementada con productos de la caza y la pesca. Entre las montañas y el desierto, recorrían grandes distancias recogiendo bellotas, semillas, tunas, piñones, agaves y frutos de la manzanita y la guata. Con el tiempo aquellos hombres se agruparon en distintas bandas y cada una procuró delimitar su territorio.

On 27 and 29 October 1989 the unmated females were caged at a site in the vicinity of Mike's Sky Ranch in the Sierra San Pedro Martir, approximately 170 km south of the international border. Despite sunny weather and at a similar elevation and floral com­ munity, no males were attracted. Two males were deposited as voucher specimens in both of the following institutions: Universidad Autonoma de Baja California Norte, Ensenada, Mexico, and the Essig Mu­ seum of Entomology, University of California, Berkeley.
