[@escorpionafricano]

I'm also from Tecate and that Neji settlement used to be called La Rancheria next to El Gato later to be called Ejido Guadalajara. My uncle my mothers nephew Lalo Cota used to live at the settlement. Asi que conosco muy bien ese lugar desafortunadamente ya no podemos ir con la libertad de antes dado a la violencia.

I live in escondido california in San Diego County and native americans used to live where my trailer park is. The tribe was the ipai tribe. Me and my friends found an arrowhead and a grinding stone in my back yard. I didn't even know about the grinding stone til one day I was looking through some brush in my backyard and I found it buried amongst brush. I don't live on a reservation but it's crazy how there's a bunch of artifacts in my trailer park and yard.

[@tenkarausa5294]

Wild! Theres a lot of petroglyphs in the mountains behind Escondido too. A lot of grinding stone at palomar too, unlimited acorns.

my great great grandma was maría morales 😊 this is a great video, thank you

[@terereynolds698]

I'm Diegueno, Capitan Grande Band of California Mission Indian, aka Kumeyaay but my tribe wasn't from Baja, we were from the San Diego coastline, around the Ocean Beach, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, along the Pacific Coast Highway. We were fisherman, we grew fruits and vegetables, and we were basket weavers. The Spaniards pushed us up into the mountains of San Diego, my reservation is still in the mountains, it's called Barona. My grandma Lucy had 3 stoves, one in the kitchen to cook on, an old woodstove in the living room for heat and an old woodstove outside, under her eucalyptus tree, she would make tortilla's and frybread outside in the summer because we didn't have air conditioning. I'm 65 and I still cook the way my grandma and aunt taught me to cook, I guess the only thing I don't make is acorn mush, or shawee, I never liked it. Quitac blood runs through my veins, my great grandfather Lucas Quitac was from the snake clan and my great grandmother Modesta Quitac was from the turtle clan.

This is so cool to know and learn about a culture and the people here in Southern California. I am from the Imperial valley and have always loved the drive to San Diego. I alway knew that there is more history that probably still has not been discovered yet. I am so happy that these beautiful people still continue their traditions. Now I would love to do a DNA test. Only to want to connect with my true roots. No matter where they may be. Kumeyaay are very blessed and must be so proud of their culture and people.

[@lynndeweese]

The Kumiai exist; Neji exists. La lucha continua!

[@arnoldlane9993]

Very beautiful people. I am amazed at how striking in appearance the Kumeyaay are.

[@n.l8663]

They all have dreamy eyes.

[@ginahobbs3995]

they lived in paradise for 800 generations ,and then , one day , the spanards showed up and did horrible , inhumane crimes against them .they lost their history that they had recorded on every rock they found . i have discovered their story .it's about one of the most important human events in history .the survival of their people for 12,000 years, and the ant people who helped them. much like the Hopi story , only in California.

Hand made are so delicious 🤤 we make atole too. Is so cool to see the ancestors of the land on both side of the border 🇲🇽🇲🇽

[@enriquet2562]

My parents lived like that just 60 years ago. My dad always reminded us, that when they were in Mexico they ate every other day, but once in the USofA they ate EVERY day, might of just been beans , but they ate every day!!! God Bless the USofA

[@scasey1960]

Not a sentiment one often hears.

[@1fast72nova]

@@scasey1960 people have forgotten, quickly, where we came, how we got here. And how it occurred. An old man once told me something to the effect of ... It's hard to remember the good when you dwell on the bad... A teacher once told us you can do good 9 times and bad once and people will talk about the bad

[@larryparis925]

Silly. Indigenous Peoples don’t need to thank or bow down to any European god.

Es bonito saber de sus raises mi bisa abuela DELFINA CUERO ES KUMIAI

Delfina eres hija de Chuy Cuero???

[@escorpionafricano]

No entonces Chuy cuero pudo ser hijo ???

[@fabiancarr4499]

genia Montiel tienes familia en Viejas I barona :)

[@terereynolds698]

I'm related to the Cuero's, my great grandfather Lucas Quitac and Mark Cuero's mom were brother and sister. After Uncle Mark died, Aunt Mary moved the rest of the kids to her reservation, she was from Campo. Uncle Mark is actually my cousin, but we grew up calling him Uncle out of respect. I'm from Barona.

[@whoknowsidont.5147]

For atleast 15000 Years that we have documented.. and probably alot longer than that.100,000 years. It is possible.

[@ElRayDelRio]

I seriously hope that these people who are part of this nation and that are on the other side of the border are getting monetary help from all the casinos that are in the San Diego county owned by some of their people

[@SouthCalifas619]

They were called savages because they ate each other you think.

[@ScyonHikari01]

For what I know that happened to the Aztecs and actually pozole it was made by humans flesh at first

[@capt.morgan8975]

They were called that because it was a way to dehumanize them by the people who were savages.

[@naturalfreehuman]

@@ScyonHikari01 aztec rulers were anunnaki. pyramids. flesh eaters. not the normal human beings there. the flesh eaters are now running new ops. get ready for their bullshit disease X. lol. same motherfuckers.... long live the natural free human beings.
