  • Chapter 2. Native Languages of West-Central California
    Chapter 2. Native Languages of West-Central California This chapter discusses the native language spoken at Spanish contact by people who eventually moved to missions within Costanoan language family territories. No area in North America was more crowded with distinct languages and language families than central California at the time of Spanish contact. In the chapter we will examine the information that leads scholars to conclude the following key points: The local tribes of the San Francisco Peninsula spoke San Francisco Bay Costanoan, the native language of the central and southern San Francisco Bay Area and adjacent coastal and mountain areas. San Francisco Bay Costanoan is one of six languages of the Costanoan language family, along with Karkin, Awaswas, Mutsun, Rumsen, and Chalon. The Costanoan language family is itself a branch of the Utian language family, of which Miwokan is the only other branch. The Miwokan languages are Coast Miwok, Lake Miwok, Bay Miwok, Plains Miwok, Northern Sierra Miwok, Central Sierra Miwok, and Southern Sierra Miwok. Other languages spoken by native people who moved to Franciscan missions within Costanoan language family territories were Patwin (a Wintuan Family language), Delta and Northern Valley Yokuts (Yokutsan family languages), Esselen (a language isolate) and Wappo (a Yukian family language). Below, we will first present a history of the study of the native languages within our maximal study area, with emphasis on the Costanoan languages. In succeeding sections, we will talk about the degree to which Costanoan language variation is clinal or abrupt, the amount of difference among dialects necessary to call them different languages, and the relationship of the Costanoan languages to the Miwokan languages within the Utian Family.

  • Kizh Not Tongva, E. Gary Stickel, Ph.D (UCLA)
    WHY THE ORIGINAL INDIAN TRIBE OF THE GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA IS CALLED KIZH NOT TONGVA by E. Gary Stickel, Ph.D (UCLA) Tribal Archaeologist Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians/ Kizh Nation 2016 1 WHY THE ORIGINAL INDIAN TRIBE OF THE GREATER LOS ANGELES AREA IS CALLED KIZH NOT TONGVA by E. Gary Stickel, Ph.D (UCLA) Tribal Archaeologist Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians/ Kizh Nation The original Indian Tribe of the greater Los Angeles and Orange County areas, has been referred to variously which has lead to much confusion. This article is intended to clarify what they were called, what they want to be called today (Kizh), and what they do not want to be called (i.e. “tongva”). Prior to the invasion of foreign nations into California (the Spanish Empire and the Russian Empire) in the 1700s, California Indian Tribes did not have pan-tribal names for themselves such as Americans are used to (for example, the “Cherokee” or “Navajo” [Dine]). The local Kizh Indian People identified themselves with their associated resident village (such as Topanga, Cahuenga, Tujunga, Cucamonga, etc.). This concept can be understood if one considers ancient Greece where, before the time of Alexander the Great, the people there did not consider themselves “Greeks” but identified with their city states. So one was an Athenian from Athens or a Spartan from Sparta. Similarly the Kizh identified with their associated villages. Anthropologists, such as renowned A.L. Kroeber, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, who wrote the first “bible” of California Indians (1925), inappropriately referred to the subject tribe as the “Gabrielinos” (Kroeber 1925).

  • California History Online | the Physical Setting
    Chapter 1: The Physical Setting Regions and Landforms: Let's take a trip The land surface of California covers almost 100 million acres. It's the third largest of the states; only Alaska and Texas are larger. Within this vast area are a greater range of landforms, a greater variety of habitats, and more species of plants and animals than in any area of comparable size in all of North America. California Coast The coastline of California stretches for 1,264 miles from the Oregon border in the north to Mexico in the south. Some of the most breathtaking scenery in all of California lies along the Pacific coast. More than half of California's people reside in the coastal region. Most live in major cities that grew up around harbors at San Francisco Bay, San Diego Bay and the Los Angeles Basin. San Francisco Bay San Francisco Bay, one of the finest natural harbors in the world, covers some 450 square miles. It is two hundred feet deep at some points, but about two-thirds is less than twelve feet deep. The bay region, the only real break in the coastal mountains, is the ancestral homeland of the Ohlone and Coast Miwok Indians. It became the gateway for newcomers heading to the state's interior in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Tourism today is San Francisco's leading industry. San Diego Bay A variety of Yuman-speaking people have lived for thousands of years around the shores of San Diego Bay. European settlement began in 1769 with the arrival of the first Spanish missionaries.

  • Gabrielino/Tongva Indians of California Tribal History by Martin Alcala, Member, Gabrielino/Tongva Nation 3/25/1945 - 2/11/2008
    The Gabrielino/Tongva Indians of California Tribal History by Martin Alcala, member, Gabrielino/Tongva Nation 3/25/1945 - 2/11/2008 The Gabrielino/Tongva Indians of California are the indigenous people of the entire Los Angeles Basin. Their traditional tribal territory encompasses the L.A. basin, with tribal boundaries extending from the Santa Susana Mountains to the east (San Bernardino County), the Pacific Ocean to the west, Laguna Niguel to the south, and Topanga Creek to the north. Other parts of their territory include the Channel Islands of Santa Catalina, San Nicolas, San Clemente, and Santa Barbara. Gabrielino is the name given to the California Mission Indians by the Spanish Monks who, with the Tongva’s help as slaves, established the Missions of California. They were named after the mission that they built, Mission San Gabriel. But long before any European contact, the Tongva, or People of the Earth, had already established their own society. The Tongva (Gabrielino) were considered one of the most wealthy, active, and prosperous tribes in southern California. They were also known as one of the most generous tribes in the region, often sharing their wealth with other less fortunate neighboring tribes. It is through the very act of generosity that would prove to be the tribe’s downfall. In pre-recorded history, the Tongva already had a major civilization in place with their own government, laws, religion, monetary system, music, art, dance, cultural exchange with neighboring tribes up and down the west coast of America, and oral history handed down from generation to generation. Originally a coastal people, the Tongva used the sea to subsist their diets They hunted small game such as rats, lizards, rabbits and foxes.

  • Collaborations with Indigenous Nations, Communities, and Individuals Scott Scoggins and Erich Steinman
    Unsettling Engagements: Collaborations with Indigenous Nations, Communities, and Individuals Scott Scoggins and Erich Steinman Abstract The presence of urban Indian communities and American Indian tribal nations in and near metropolitan areas creates tremendous potential for expanding campus­ community collaborations regarding teaching, research, and service. However, many challenges must be addressed, including acknowledging the colonial context of relations between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples in general as well as the specific role that education has played in the ongoing marginalization of American Indians. Rather than simply serving American Indian communities, academic engagement must be premised on self-scrutiny and intercultural respect that will unsettle taken-for-granted academic perspectives, logics, and procedures. Such efforts can generate deeply rewarding and valuable outcomes. Unbeknownst to some, many urban colleges and universities are located in "Indian Country." By this we don't just mean that such institutions are on land that was dispossessed from the long-time indigenous inhabitants, but rather that there are often robust pan-tribal Indian communities in the respective metropolitan areas, often with American Indian tribal nations in close proximity. In some urban areas pan-tribal communities reflect regional tribal populations, whereas in other cases, the indigenous populations are from all around the United States or from elsewhere in North America or Central America. Some of these tribal nations are federally recognized, others are state-recognized, and others are not recognized. All of these communities and nations are engaged in various types of cultural, political, and economic resurgence, as part of a dynamic wave of indigenous decolonization unfolding over the last few decades.

How California Was Won: Race, Citizenship, And The Colonial Roots Of California, 1846 – 1879 Abstract The construction of California as an American state was a colonial project premised upon Indigenous removal, state-supported land dispossession, the perpetuation of unfree labor systems and legal, race- based discrimination alongside successful Anglo-American settlement. This dissertation, entitled “How the West was Won: Race, Citizenship, and the Colonial Roots of California, 1849 - 1879” argues that the incorporation of California and its diverse peoples into the U.S. depended on processes of colonization that produced and justified an adaptable acialr hierarchy that protected white privilege and supported a racially-exclusive conception of citizenship. In the first section, I trace how the California Constitution and federal and state legislation violated the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This legal system empowered Anglo-American migrants seeking territorial, political, and economic control of the region by allowing for the dispossession of Californio and Indigenous communities and legal discrimination against Californio, Indigenous, Black, and Chinese persons.
