KUMEYAAY YEAR

This calendar is a contemporary interpretation of the traditional Kumeyaay calendar. Originally, the calendar was flexible and adaptive to changing conditions. One year the summer may be longer than others, while the next year the winter may be extraordinarily lengthy. Certain celestial events helped to readjust and reset the year.

The most important of these events was the ascendency of the constellation EMUU (Three Mountain Sheep) to its zenith just before dawn. This corresponds to the three stars of Orion’s belt and they reach their zenith around the fall equinox of September 21st.

A mini season overlaps the fall. This was the season of KLII Anemshap or the acorn harvest season. It falls from September 21 to November 21.

Reading the calendar from the top is Perewii Hunn or the Fall Equinox. Fall is Kupiihaaw and ‘echamaly the months are Hellyaa. December 21st is the winter solstice, called Hilyati in Kumeyaay. Hiichur is winter, ending in Perewii Hunn or Spring Equinox. Spring is Chiipam ending in (brothers) Hilyati or Summer Solstice. The calendar concludes with Ippall or summer. ~ Mike Connely

5 In The North American Indian, Photographs Tell The Story By Gary Taylor, Reporting for SCTCA TANF

More than a century ago, Edward S. Curtis spent 30 years of his life photographing Native Americans. From 1900 to 1930, Curtis traveled tens of thousands of miles across America to take black and white pictures of Indians representing 80 tribal nations. He photographed tribal leaders including Geronimo, Red Cloud and Chief Joseph. He took far more pictures of Native Americans whose names he did not know – young warriors, tribal elders, women and children. He took photographs of tribal members alone, in contemplation; together, in traditional Native American dress; families; men and women at work; children at play; elders nearing death. He photographed – with unprecedented access for a white man – virtually every aspect of Native American life. When he was done, after three decades, Curtis compiled all of his photographs and images into a massive 20-volume, 20-portfolio set of handmade books composed of nearly 4,000 pages of text and more than 2,000 pictures. He titled the compilation, “The North American Indian.” This year marks the 150th anniversary of Curtis’ birth in 1868. Christopher Cardozo – who has written nine books on Curtis since 1973 – is celebrating Curtis’ birth “with exhibitions, symposiums, lectures and other events across the United States,” wrote Darren Quintenz in the February/March issue of the magazine Cowboys & Indians. The magazine conducted an interview with Cardozo and published 11 Curtis photographs in an eight-page article. Cardozo said Curtis’ experience photographing Native Americans in Montana in 1900 led to his determination to begin what would eventually become The North American Indian. landmark…and remains the most expensive and ambitious set “The experiences he had that summer in Montana among of rare books in North American publishing history,” Cardozo the Blackfeet and later in Arizona and New Mexico among told Cowboys and Indians. the Hopi and Navajo crystallized his ‘big dream,’” Cardozo On this and the next page are several photographs from told Quintenz. “He realized Native culture was disappearing Curtis’ unrivaled master work. – possibly threatened with extinction – and that he had to preserve a record while it was still possible.” Cardozo believes Curtis was driven to photograph Native Americans because he lived in an era when the tribes had suffered almost complete devastation and ruin. “Most had been forced onto reservations and the U.S. government had adopted strict policies to strip Native people of almost every vestige of their culture, their land, and their identities,” he said. “They were essentially refugees in their own lands, subjected to extreme cultural genocide. It was within this context that Curtis discovered his life’s purpose and single- mindedly pursued it for decades.” The result wasThe North American Indian. Cardozo believes it was – and remains – one of the single greatest collections of photographs in American history. “…Today, (The North American Indian) still stands as a
