Desireemartinez.Pdf From the Office of Certified Genealogist & Researcher Lorraine “Rain Cloud” Escobar, CG/NALSM Inam Mec Tanotc The True Lineage of Desiree Renee Martinez (born 1973) By Lorraine Escobar, CG December 2, 2015 Introduction At the request of Chairman Andrew Salas, of the Kizh Nation, Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians, in response to his claims that Desiree Renee Martinez is not a descendant of Gabrieleno, or California, Indians, I agreed to conduct a genealogical investigation of her lineage. The result of this investigation demonstrates Martinez is not of Gabrieleno or California Indian descent. This report provides the evidence and analysis which led to that conclusion. There is no doubt Martinez has presented herself as a Gabrieleno [aka Tongva]. Without going into the many sources there are on this topic, this much is clear from her own words as published in O, My Ancestor, Recognition and Renewal for the Gabrielino Tongva People of the Los Angeles Area. 1 Considering her true lineage, it is possible she, like many others, was misled by the unsubstantiated paperwork generated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in response to the 1928 California Indian Judgment Act [CIJA]. But, it is unknown to this author if Martinez knowingly deceived agencies and individuals or if she was simply too naïve and/or negligent in her responsibility to verify her claims. To be clear, this report addresses the facts, not her motives. Therefore, I have requested Chairman Salas to deliver a copy of this report to Martinez before placing it in the public domain. In view of my conclusion, the reader may deem it odd that some of the evidence states some of Martinez’s ancestors were Indian. [See Appendix I & II] But, like many others, her family’s story of being Native American had a beginning around 1930. Many of her ancestors had a historical association with Mission San Gabriel. Then, in 1928, the United States Congress passed a law to reimburse California Indian descendants for undelivered treaty land. During the Great Depression Era, many Spanish-Mexican families took advantage of the 1928 CIJA enrollment process (1929-1932) which meant money and services even though they were not California Indians. Then, as two more CIJA enrollment periods came and went (1950 and 1969), second and third generations were just learning they were “Indian” because of something their parents or grandparents did in 1928. From there, the stories seem to build, especially in face of the federal acknowledgment process (for tribes) and a desire to recover a story, and culture that, actually, does not belong to them. But, now that the truth and real evidence is readily 1 Jurmain, Claudia & McCawley, William, O, My Ancestor, “A Conversation with Desiree Martinez,” (Berkeley: Heyday, 2009), pp. 175-192. No photocopy provided. PO Box 579741, Modesto, CA 95357 Hm: (209) 524-6348 Cell: (209) 985-9282 [email protected] The True Lineage of Desiree Martinez By Lorraine Escobar, CG Page 2 of 40 available, many of these “Indian” stories are now coming to an end. This is the case for Desiree Martinez.2 In her interview, Martinez claimed her “Tongva” lineage comes through her maternal grandmother. Accordingly, she gave some clues for this genealogy which I was able to verify: 1. Her age was 34 (at the time of the interview); 2. Her mother was born in 1947; 3. Her maternal grandmother was born in 1922; 4. Her maternal grandmother had six siblings, some of which attended the Sherman Institute (school for Indians). 5. Her maternal great-grandparents were born in the 1880’s; and, 6. Her maternal great-grandmother died in 1934. The evidence supports these facts but it refutes her claim about being a Gabrieleño Indian. So, by working in tandem with the clues from that interview, the correct lineage can now be revealed. All of the reviewed evidence was evaluated according to genealogical proof standards and is cited in this report as appropriate. Photocopies of the evidence were arranged in separate files which are included in the submission of this report. As directed by Chairman Salas, the cited evidence was submitted to the Gabrieleño Tribe for their use in defending their tribal petition for federal acknowledgment. Additional copies of this report and attached evidence are available upon request directly from Chairman Salas. Acronyms and General Notes Pedigree Chart Notes As most extensive genealogies go, it is generally difficult to follow each generation through the written word. But, one characteristic of this lineage might make it particularly difficult to follow; due to two unions between relatives, the pedigree chart shows a repeat of Valenzuela and Ontiveros ancestors. One union was between first cousins and the other was between a second-cousin and a second-cousin, once removed. So, in order to best follow the persons being discussed in this report, I highly recommend using the accompanying genealogical pedigree chart as a guide [enclosed in left pocket of the binder in which the report and evidence are assembled and presented]. Transcription Notes The bold and Italics font is used to highlight the name or term exactly as it was spelled in the referenced document. If a name is spelled differently than what might be expected as 2 See Appendix I, Timeline of Martinez/Bermudes Ethnic Identifications 1900 to Present. 2 The True Lineage of Desiree Martinez By Lorraine Escobar, CG Page 3 of 40 the usual spelling, it is not a typo. Rather, it is a means to illustrate the exact spellings (or dates) as they were seen in the referenced document. The term—sic—is a designation to show the transcriber acknowledges the name was spelled as such in the original document and no effort was made to correct that spelling.

As per the usual routine, the mother was likely the informant, which indicates she thought of herself as Caucasian and not Native American Indian. [See Generation 2 for Desiree Martinez’s parents.] Generation 2 Carol Ann Cortez (born 1947) & David George Martinez (born 1944) According to the county-issued birth certificate of Carol Ann Cortez, she was born November 22, 1947, in Montebello, California.4 Her parents were identified as Lupe Martinez, Mexican, age: 25, born in California, and Roy Perez Cortez, Mexican, age: 27, born in Idaho. The mother’s mailing address was given as 213 Bluff Road, Montebello, California. All information was furnished by Mrs. Cortez, Mother,” which indicates she thought of herself as Mexican and not Native American Indian. The county-issued birth certificate for David George Martinez indicated he was born June 1, 1944, in Belvedere Township, California.5 His parents were identified as Beatrice Cardenas, age: 22, Mexican, and born in Mexico, and Frank J. Martinez, age: 26, Mexican, and born in Texas. Since David’s lineage traces to Mexico and Texas, these facts eliminate Martinez’s father as possessing any California Indian blood. According to their marriage certificate, David Martinez and Carol Cortez were married in Clark County, Nevada, on May 29, 1970.6 While the marriage affidavit did not name the parents, it confirmed their birth dates as June 1, 1944, for David, and November 22, 1947, for Carol.7 It also stated the bride was a resident of El Monte, California. [See Generation 3 for Carol Cortez’s parents.] Generation 3 Lupe Martinez (born 1922) & Roy Perez Cortez (1921-2004) Since Martinez claims her maternal grandfather [Roy Perez Cortez] was Mexican, and this claim is supported by her mother’s birth certificate, his lineage is eliminated for the purposes of this report. 4 Cortez, Carol Ann (1947), certificate of live birth (informational copy), issued by County of Los Angeles-Register-Recorder/County Clerk, CA, on 18 Jun 2015. 5 Martinez, David George (1944); certificate of live birth (informational copy), issued by County of Los Angeles-Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, CA, on 18 Jun 2015. 6 Martinez/Cortez (1970), certified marriage certificate No.

  • Natural History Museum Unveils Portrait of Juana María, the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island
    Media Contact: Briana Sapp Tivey Director of Marketing and Communications Email: [email protected] Phone: 805-682-4711 ext. 117 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Natural History Museum Unveils Portrait of Juana María, the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island Local Artist Holli Harmon Creates Likeness Based on First-Hand Accounts Santa Barbara, California (February 21, 2018) — The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History recently unveiled a historically accurate portrait of Juana María, the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island. Fictionalized as “Karana” in Scott O’Dell’s novel Island of the Blue Dolphins, she was a real person who lived by herself on San Nicolas Island. Accidentally left behind in 1835, when the last of the native inhabitants were conveyed to the mainland at the request of the Santa Barbara Mission priests, she resourcefully caught her own food, made her own clothes, and built her own shelter for 18 years. In 1853, Carl Dittman and sea otter hunter Captain George Nidever found the woman alive and well. She willingly returned to the mainland on his ship, living with Nidever’s family in Santa Barbara for only seven weeks before she tragically fell ill and died. The Lone Woman was conditionally baptized with the name Juana María and buried at the Santa Barbara Mission. Harmon’s piece is the first painting to be based on historical records. Most representations of Juana María to date have been based on the romantic image popularized in O’Dell’s book. A research team including archaeologist Steve Schwartz, historian Susan Morris, and Museum Curator of Anthropology John Johnson supplied local artist Holli Harmon with historically accurate descriptions of the Lone Woman.

    SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE MATERIAL CULTURE OF THE NICOLEÑO STEVEN J. SCHWARTZ Environmental Programs Office, Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Code 52F000E, Point Mugu, CA 93042-5049; [email protected] Abstract—First hand accounts from a variety of sources were brought together to describe the material culture associated with Juana Maria, the ‘Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island’. Structures with wooden pole or whale bone frameworks and covered with brush were found in association with the Lone Woman. A first hand description is available of the process the Lone Woman used to seal a woven water bottle with asphaltum. Other items found and used by the Lone Woman included a basket with straps that she used for transporting items, pole structures for drying meat, a bag made of grass, a garment made of cormorant feathers, and various other tools and ornaments. These glimpses of the material culture of the Nicoleño provide an interesting insight into their culture and lifestyle. Keywords: ethnohistory, Gabrielino, history, Juana Maria, ‘Lone Woman’, Nicoleño, San Nicolas Island INTRODUCTION simply state that she was mistakenly left behind when the ship sailed away in light of a storm. After The plight of Juana Maria, the ‘Lone Woman a number of years, the general populace had of San Nicolas Island’, is well known to the supposed that she had died; no concerted effort was academic community through the writings of mounted to locate her until after 1852 when rumors Heizer and Elsasser (1961, 1973) and to the of her existence surfaced, and evidence on the general public through the writing of Scott island pointed to the fact that she might still be O’Dell’s (1960) novel “Island of the Blue alive (Woodward 1957).

  • The American Indian in the American Film
    THE AMERICAN INDIAN IN THE AMERICAN FILM Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in American Studies in the University of Canterbury by Michael J. Brathwaite 1981 ABSTRACT This thesis is a chronological examination of the ways in which American Indians have been portrayed in American 1 f.ilms and the factors influencing these portrayals. B eginning with the literary precedents, the effects of three wars and other social upheavals and changes are considered. In addition t-0 being the first objective detailed examination of the subj�ct in English, it is the first work to cover the last decade. It concludes that because of psychological factors it is unlikely that film-makers are - capable of advancing far beyond the basic stereotypes, and that the failure of Indians to appreciate this has repeatedly caused ill-feeling between themselves and the film-makers, making the latter abandon their attempts at a fair treatment of the Indians. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface iii Chapter I: The Background of the Problem c.1630 to c.1900. 1 Chapter II: The Birth of the Cinema and Its Aftermath: 1889 to 1939. 21 Chapter III: World War II and Its Effects: 1940 to 1955. 42 Chapter IV: Assimilation of Separatism?: 1953 to 1965. 65 Chapter V: The Accuracy Question. 80 Chapter VI: Catch-22: 1965 to 1972. 105 Chapter VII: Back to the Beginning: 1973 to 1981. 136 Chapter VIII: Conclusion. 153 Bibliography 156 iii PREFACE The aim of this the.sis is to examine the ways in which the American Indians have been portrayed in American films, the influences on their portrayals, and whether or not they have changed.

  • The Trapper: a Hollywood Ghost
    1 The Trapper: a Hollywood Ghost On Alejandro González Iñárritu’s The Revenant Gilles HAVARD We should not be misled by the The Revenant’s hyperrealism: Iñárritu’s film is a brilliant filmmaker’s ego trip more than it is an accurate depiction of the trapper’s role in conquering the American West. Despite its meticulous reconstruction of living conditions at the time, the film is teeming with clichés and approximations. The Revenant: in terms of the history of the Western, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s film is aptly titled. By recreating a story of survival, that of Hugh Glass, an unfortunate member of a fur trade expedition on the Missouri in 1823, the Mexican director renews a genre in decline (the Western) while also bringing a cinematographic ghost back to life: the trapper in the American West. The adventures of hunters in the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains spanned from the late eighteenth century to the mid-nineteenth century, reaching their peak with the rendezvous system – fur meetings drawing several hundred White men and Indians to a chosen spot in the mountains every summer. This long period offers historical material with a wealth of dramatic potential: wild animal attacks, skirmishes with American Indians, rivalry between fur companies, the cult of firearms, the clash of cultures, exotic romance, the mixing of cultures, etc. Overshadowed by cowboys, cavalry, and stagecoaches, the trapper or mountain man – and more broadly the ‘coureur de bois’1 – is nonetheless a minor figure in the Western. Trapper films or ‘Conradian’ Westerns In fact, the western genre really came into its own depicting a later period, between 1865 and 1890 which was, strictly speaking, the time of the ‘conquest of the West’.

  • Teacher Directions: Island of the Blue Dolphins
    Teacher Directions: Island of the Blue Dolphins Student Question: What caused Juana Maria (Karana) to be alone on the island? Introduction: This mini research project is meant to be guided, with opportunities for group and individual discovery through small group activities, conversations and writing. 1. Students will read the 3 different texts. All texts have text dependent questions for you to use as you work through the text. Look at the text to determine how your students will read it: - 1st read either with partners, individually or chunked and read together with the teacher to clarify meaning (some of the TDQs may be used here). - 2nd read will be working with more difficult text dependent questions that you ask. Students can partner, work in groups, or work as a class to answer –students must be involved in the process of answering the questions. 2. After you have read each text, guide student in filling in the process grid: - Summarize the text (main ideas and details) – When summarizing, use this questioning technique: Who/What / did what / to whom? Then ask “Why?” Students should begin to discover that economy, greed, and manipulation (harder concept) due to need to survive – led to the chain of events. - Find the specific evidence that helps you answer your question – Students may not be able to understand at first which pieces of evidence help them answer the question about Juana Maria until they read all texts – getting the big picture. Work on this section as they begin to see how all the events led to her eventual solitary life.
