The woman in this video, both the museum worker and acting as the grandmother, is Katherine Siva Saubel.

[@ehnohuhu]

Thanks for identifying her ... I've read her native plants book Temalpakh and met her once in Warner Springs 45 years after this film was made ... but would not have known that was her. Very much appreciate you sharing that information.

Cahuilla people southern California were unaffected by the Spanish colonization mission system

[@LibrarianLauren]

Does anyone know if this is supposed to be "Cahuilla" of the Palm Springs Agua Calliente area?

[@kinfolk57]

The Cahuilla of the Santa Rosa Mountains, at the very least, which would include the Agua Caliente band as well. I first saw this video on a loop at the Desert Museum in Palm Springs, and was happy to find it here online.

[@edgarmarquez7387]

Lauren Bryant yes

[@tonyaubry6043]

Back in the day the cahuilla people's territory streched from nearly San diego out to the desert and all the way up by San Bernardino, I grew up a mile off of the Cahuilla reservation up in the mountains in a town called Anza. my best friends are one of the origional families from the mountain. Cahuilla rez they're awesome people

[@landinyglesias6553]

[@lindseys5478]

Lol we're Cahuilla, still here in the Palm Springs and surrounding area. Check out our cultural center that is opening later this year, and our spa Séc-he in downtown Palm Springs.

[@herbertpen]

[@VintageGirlMemories]

Cahuilla

[@mairisie25]

Thank you for sharing. I am learning more about Kahuia Native Americans from Cherry Valley to San Timoteo Canyon. There are recreations of the Cahuila cave and the structure made from cedar bark. How did the Kahuia know which plants to eat? I am very interested in learning more. I have gone to library and plan on going to Malki Museum in Cabazon.

[@johnkennedy2487]

A spirit woman came and told them what they could use and not use according to the cahuia story.

[@juandartyy]

Great info vary similar to the kumyaay

[@teokotaiandrew8214]

My ancestors name is Kahuia this is amazing. I have a grandson who has this name too. I am from an island called Tongareva. this is amazing.

[@jacobeksor6088]

Teokotai Andrew awesome . I went to Palm Spring 1 years ago we went to museum I like Native culture. I’m Montagnard jarai tribe Central highland Vietnam,we have strong culture but today kinh Vietnamese take over by the French Indochine everything destroyed.

[@mairisie25]

This is on Cook Islands. Wow I have never heard of it. DO you speak the main language Rarotongan Māori. I looked it up named after Captain Cook in 1773. Very interesting. So I am guessing you are Tahiitan descent. I love history. Just curious.

[@miller8221]

[@herbertpen]

[@wildwildItaly]

That must of been humiliating having to cut their hair like that

[@Ray.5446.]

The only time Natives cut their hair is when someone passes away.

[@Kosovar_Chicken]

​@@Ray.5446. Not all of them example the Mohawk

[@Daniel-se2eb]

these are the original people of California not Hispanic/ latino or chicano people

[@CeeR90]

Daniel 5247 Brush up on your history. Illiterate fuck

[@andeenoiii]

Daniel 5247 Well honestly hardly any body has 100 % almost on any race at some point the mix with European or Arab or something. You could hear her naming some of her artefacts in Spanish. Lots of those latinos , Hispanic or whatever they call themselves; they just plane the descendants of that mixing and its not like they were born in Europe or Asia... In reality hispanics is a new breed of the americas, Americans if you will but not necessarily white or native nor black full blood

[@andeenoiii]

Daniel 5247 Watch : the kumeyaay Indians of Baja California

[@selenagomezacapella]

Daniel 5247 - what do you think many Latinos are exactly? Why do you think these people look stereotypically "Mexican"?

[@selenagomezacapella]

Alfonso Alcántara robles - I never said they/y'all were Mexican idiot. Learn how to read.

[@heavinhell630]

North west south east go north Sacramento California apostolic god devil Jesus Christ name amen

[@autochthonoushistory101]
