Serrano

A Shoshonean division located primarily in the San Bernardino Mountains of southern California, their name is Spanish for "highlander,” or "mountaineer.” They also ranged north of Los Angeles and extended down the Mohave River to present-day Daggett, California, and occupied the San Bernardino Valley. Fray Francisco Garcés in 1775, described them as living near Tejon Creek, under their Mohave name of Cuahajai or Cuabajay, in large square communal houses made of toile mats on a framework of willow limbs. They made small baskets, flint knives, and vessels inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and conducted much trade with the natives of the coast near Santa Barbara. The Serrano on the upper waters of Santa Ana River, he also called by their Mohave name - Jenequich. Fray described them as approachable, quiet, inoffensive, and having good hearts. Physically, he said they were of medium stature, round-faced, flat-nosed, and rather ugly. The men generally went naked while the women covered themselves with deerskins. The Serrano were brought under the San Gabriel and San Fernando Missions. In 1885, there were 390 Serrano counted under the Mission agencies, but afterwards, they were no longer separately counted.

Out caching in the area on a cold day, visiting from San Jose. This was day 2 of my two week adventure, spent the day caching around the Denver area. This was a quick find with nobody around. Nice hide! TN/LN/SL. Thanks for the cache!

Had the whole day to waste waiting for my coworker to get into town, so I figured I would grab some easy ones. This is so not fun doing park and grabs by yourself. Oh well...TFTCBigSmile
