Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve is a nature reserve in the city of Huntington Beach, California, The history of Bolsa Chica is a long and varied one. The earliest peoples were the Tongva Indians of California. Archaeologists have found cog stones which date back 8,000 years and are the only surviving relic of the Indian lifestyle. Their exact purpose is unknown, but speculation has centered on religious or astronomical use. Cog stones can be seen at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana.
Simi Valley, California
Area of: Chatsworth, Canoga Park, Agoura Hills, Calabasas
Simi Valley is an incorporated city located in a valley of the same name in the southeast corner of Ventura County, California, bordering the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles in the Greater Los Angeles Area.
The cave is located near the historic Chumash settlement of Hu’wam, along upper Bell Creek, and Tongva/Fernandeño settlement Misión Vieja and Atavsangna.
The Burro Flats pictographs have been termed “the best preserved Indian pictograph in Southern California.” Archaeologists estimate the drawings are several hundred years old. There is a replica of the pictographs at the Southwest Museum in Highland Park, Los Angeles.
One theory about the drawings is that they were a cooperative effort between the Chumash and Gabrielino tribes in the 1400s to celebrate the solstice and friendship between the two tribes.
“Perhaps the most detailed description of condor ceremony in southern California comes from the Panes (or bird) festival of the Luiseño. It was described by Friar Boscana of Mission San Juan Capistrano and by Friar Peyri of Mission San Luis Rey in the early 19th century. Similar ceremonies were held by the Gabrieliño, Cahuilla, Kumeyaay and Cupeño (Kroeber 1907; 2002)”.

The village was possibly located in the Granada Hills, CA area near Aliso Canyon Wash.
“Currently the city of LA is developing within the confines of Aliso Canyon in the city of Granada Hills. As you well know this canyon was home to 6-14 Tongva Indians from the village of Ceegenga or Sasabenga who were removed from Aliso canyon between 1797-1802 — email contribution 9-06-12, from Dustin Lorentz (Scholar/Anthropoligist)
Aliso Creek (also Aliso Canyon Wash or Aliso Wash) is a major tributary of the Los Angeles River in Los Angeles County, California, with a watershed of 21 square miles (54 km2).[2] It is the second major tributary to enter the Los Angeles River downstream of the Bell Creek/Calabasas Creek merge.[3] The stream runs about 10 miles (16 km) from Aliso Canyon below Oat Mountain to its confluence with the Los Angeles River. During its first mile, it is a free-flowing stream mostly contained within Aliso Canyon Park and Eddlestone Park.

Cerritos was originally inhabited by Native Americans belonging to the Tongva (or “People of the Earth”) tribe. Later, the Tongva would be renamed the “Gabrieleños” by the Spanish settlers after the nearby Mission San Gabriel Arcangel. The Gabrieleños were the largest group of Southern California Indians as well as the most developed in the region. The Gabrieleños lived off the land, deriving food from the animals or plants that could be gathered, snared, or hunted, and grinding acorns as a staple.
Beginning in the late 1400s, Spanish explorers arrived in the New World and worked their way to the California coast in 1542. The colonization process included “civilizing” the native populations in California by means of establishing various missions. Soon afterwards, a town called El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de Porciúncula (Los Angeles today) would be founded and prosper with the aid of subjects from New Spain and Native American labor.

“The Gabrielino Indians were Culver City’s first residents. They were of Shoshonean linguistic stock, and their tribes occupied the Los Angeles area, north of Ventura, down to Riverside and San Bernardino, Orange County and across to the San Clemente Islands. They were a peaceful people, loving to one another and who did not believe in the destruction of human beings, and consequently do not have things to hurt bodies or minds.” read more:

In 1962, the Dodgers played their first game at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. The bums lost, but it may have been caused by the bad karma at Chavez Ravine.
Chavez Ravine in Los Angeles has been many things: a Tongva Indian village, a cattle ranch, a hospital for smallpox victims, and a residential neighborhood, mostly Hispanic.
Built in the Los Angeles community of Chávez Ravine in Sulfur Canyon, the stadium overlooks downtown Los Angeles and provides views of the city to the south, the green tree-lined hills of Elysian Park to the north and east, and the San Gabriel Mountains beyond the outfield pavilions.
Prior to the arrival of the Spanish in Alta California, the area that now comprises Downey was inhabited by the Tongva ethnic group, which came to be called the Gabrielino by the Spanish.

A Gabrielino-Tongva site. More information coming.
Indigenous people have lived in coastal southern California for at least ten thousand years. Over the centuries, several successive cultures inhabited the present-day area of Long Beach. By the time Spanish explorers arrived in the 16th century, the dominant group were the Tongva people. They had at least three major settlements within the present day city boundaries. Tevaaxaanga was an inland settlement near the Los Angeles River, while Ahwaanga and Povuunga were coastal villages. Along with other Tongva villages, they were forced to relocate in the mid 1800s due to missionization, political change, and a drastic drop in population from exposure to European diseases.
The village was located near Costa Mesa and the Santa Ana River.
Gabrielino villages existed throughout the Los Angeles Basin. When Cabrillo arrived in 1542 in San Pedro Bay, he called the land the “Bay of Smokes” because he saw so many village fires inland.

Monrovia is the fourth oldest general law city in Los Angeles County and the L.A. Basin (after Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Pasadena). Incorporated in 1887, Monrovia has grown from a sparse community of orange ranches to a residential community of 37,000. People traveling between Los Angeles and San Bernardino traveled “via Monroe’s Ranch,” hence the name.
Around 500 BC, a band of Shoshonean-speaking Indians established settlements in what is now the San Gabriel Valley. These native Americans came to be called the Gabrieliño Indians by early Spanish explorers, and are now referred to as the Tongva. The Tongva were not farmers; they gathered wild seeds, berries, and plants along rivers and in marshlands. Abundant oaks in the Valley, such as Coast Live Oak and Interior Live Oak provided a staple of the Tongva diet: acorn mush made of boiled acorn flour.
see:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monrovia,_California
For at least seven thousand years the land was populated by the Tongva (Gabrielino) Native Americans. The Tongva lived in dome like structures with thatched exteriors, an open smoke hole for ventilation and light at the top. Both sexes wore long hair styles and tattooed their bodies. During warm weather the men wore little clothes but the women would wear minimal skirts made of animal hides. During the cold weather they would wear animal skin capes and occasionally wore sandals made from hide of yucca fiber. With the arrival of the Spaniards, Old World diseases killed off many of the Tongva, and by 1870 very few Native-Americans had survived.

The site of San Marino was originally occupied by a village of Tongva (Gabrieleño) Indians. The area was part of the San Gabriel Mission. Principal portions of San Marino were included in an 1830 Mexican land grant to Señora Victoria Reid, a Native-American woman and the widow of Hugo Reid, who called it Rancho Huerta de Cuati.

San Dimas, California
The Tongva once occupied this area.
The sculpture on the San Dimas City Hall shows a representation of the face and flowing hair of the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island (the most remote of California’s Channel Islands), positioned between symbols of the sun and moon, and references her period of isolation on the island.
Steven L. Rieman is the artist.
Hutuk or Hotuuk is a village located in this area.
Prior to the modern era, the island was inhabited by people of the Gabrielino/Tongva tribe, who, having had villages near present day San Pedro and Playa del Rey, regularly traveled back and forth to Catalina for trade. The Tongva called the island Pimu or Pimugna and referred to themselves as the Pimugnans. Archeological evidence shows Tongva settlement beginning in 7000 BC. These Pimu-gnans had settlements all over the island at one time or another, with their biggest villages being at the Isthmus and at present-day Avalon, Shark/Little Harbor, and Emerald Bay. The Gabrielino/Tongva are renowned for their mining, working and trade of soapstone which was found in great quantities and varieties on the island. This material was in great demand and was traded along the California coast and as far south as Baja California.
There is evidence that several villages existed on the island of Catalina. (Shark/Little Harbor, Emerald Bay, Avalon, Two Harbors, Isthmus Cove, Catalina Harbor, etc.)
see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Catalina_Island,_California
See Pipiimar and Naayxoxar
Can be identified as the Island of Guiguina, Kinki or Kinkipar.
See Guinguina
Archaeological evidence shows that the island was inhabited, at least on a seasonal basis, by Indians, perhaps as a result of population growth on larger neighboring islands such as Santa Catalina. Due to the lack of firewood, water and basic subsistence materials, this island would be less desirable than some of the others. Given this islands central location, it may have served as an important stop over point for inter-island travel. The Gabrielino Indians spoke a Shoshonian dialect and inhabited the Southern Channel Islands and adjacent mainland.
-Tchunashngna
A village was once here. (Chokiishgna and Nacaugna)
Rancho Santa Gertrudes was a 21,298-acre (86.19 km2) 1834 Mexican land grant, in present day Los Angeles County, California resulting from a partition of Rancho Los Nietos. A former site of Nacaugna, the rancho lands included the present day cities of Downey and Santa Fe Springs.[1][2]
The Santa Monica Mountains have more than 1,000 archeology sites of significance, primarily from the Californian Native American cultures of the Tongva and Chumash people. The mountains were part of their regional homelands for over eight thousand years before the invasion of the Spanish colonizers.

San Nicolas was originally the home of the Nicoleño people, who were probably related to the Tongva of the mainland and Santa Catalina Island. It was named for Saint Nicholas by Spanish explorer Sebastián Vizcaíno after he sighted the island on the saint’s feast day (December 6) in 1602.
The Nicoleños were evacuated in the early 19th century by the padres of the California mission system after a series of conflicts with Russian-led Aleutian fur trappers decimated their population. Within a few years of their removal from the island, the Nicoleño people and their unique language became extinct.
The most famous resident of San Nicolas Island was the “Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island”, christened Juana Maria; her birth name was never known to anyone on the mainland. She was left behind (explanations for this vary) when the rest of the Nicoleños were moved to the mainland.
She resided on the island alone for 18 years before she was found by Captain George Nidever and his crew in 1853 and brought back to Santa Barbara. She died seven weeks later, her system unprepared for the different nutritional and environmental conditions on the California mainland. Her story was the basis for Scott O’Dell’s Newbery Medal-winning 1960 novel Island of the Blue Dolphins.
