JANE DUMAS Kumeyaay

JANE DUMAS takes a picture with her daughter, Daleane "Dee" Dumas-Adams, in November 2005. Both Kumeyaay Indian women are enrolled tribal members of the Jamul Indian Village • a Kumeyaay Nation, a federally-recognized Native American tribe in Southern California.

With Kumeyaay being her first language, Jane Dumas is one of the last remaining fluent speakers of the Kumeyaay language, a Yuman HOKAN language speaker.

This is an audio recording of Jane Dumas opening the 4th Annual Fiesta in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, 2005 picture series speaking in her Native Kumeyaay language — San Diego's original language — and translating it into English.

Jane possesses a great knowledge of local Indigenous plants and their aboriginal medicinal uses, and the traditional Kumeyaay culture in San Diego.

The following picture album of Jane Dumas Kumeyaay family historical pictures (linked at the top of this page) was contributed to KUMEYAAY.INFO for digital restoration and archiving by her daughter, Dee Adams.
