Fernandeņo

The Fernandeņo Tataviam Band of Mission Indian's region stretches from the San Fernando Valley and Santa Clarita Valley to the Antelope Valley and can be traced as far back as 450 A.D. At that time the Tataviam people migrated from the north and settled in villages throughout the area. The villages were constructed on the south-facing sides of hills and mountains because they received the most sun light. The word Tataviam means "people facing the sun" and describes the Tataviam villages.

In the pre-Mission period, before 1797, the Band’s ancestors formed into villages comprised of a single patrilineal lineage for the Takic speaking Tongva and Tataviam ancestors, and a matrilineal lineage among the Chumash ancestors. The social and cultural ties and organization of the lineages established in the pre-mission period continued through the mission period from 1797 to 1846.While living at San Fernando Mission, the Band’s ancestors adapted to mission life, nominally accepted Christianity, learned and took up new work skills within the mission economy, retained their traditional languages, and maintained many aspects of traditional social, ceremonial, and political life within the mission.

Between 1847 and 1885, the ancestors of the Band received, held and were then dispossessed of Mexican land grants at Encino, Cahuenga, Tujunga, Rocha’s grant, and Sikwanga, all located near the old Mission San Fernando on land formerly held in trust for the Indians by the Catholic Church. The dispossessions were illegal under Mexican law, which preserved land and village government for Mission Indians. Through the early American period the Fernandeņos lost additional land, and were forced to enter the American economy.
