HISTORICAL Way Back:
ORIGINAL TRIBAL CULTURE...
The Cahuilla tribe is considered Indigenous to the San Diego region. The Cucapá tribe is one of two Yuman tribes categorized within the so-called Hokan Delta-California language group -- the Kumeyaay tribe is the other.
The tribesmen in the above set likely have distinct markings identifying their tribal bands to each other -- if you know what to look for.
DEEP DIVE into Prehistoric Culture...
Traditional recorded Indigenous history:
Southern California Aboriginal tribes preserved their culture in two basic mediums: 1) Orally through Storytelling and Bird Singing, (2) granite sculptures, petroglyphs and pictographs....
The Yoni granite sculpture background in this composited graphic was photographed at Indian Hill, Anza Borrego Desert State Park in 2004 -- notice the dark aged paint, it must have been all painted up in celebrated form. The rare painted Polychrome olla was found in the late 1900s in western Imperial County. The Petroglyph rock was photographed by Kelly Washington in 2004 at Vii Kwame, a sacred mountain for many of the Yuman tribes.
Kumeyaay at the Turn of 21st Century
and the social media:
Through modern multi-media photojournalism and mass communications, The Kumeyaay Information Village website provides rare contemporary socially-significant windows into the Aboriginal tribal cultures, storytelling, fiesta gatherings, ceremonies, dancing, singing and music of the Southern California Indian peoples:
