Current Kumeyaay article on their Cultural Landscape in Baja California - Lynn Gamble and Michael Wilken-Robertson. Kumeyaay Rock Art, Baja California.

SDRAA and friends:

Below is a link to a current description of what it is to be a Kumeyaay living in Baja California, with first hand accounts of their contemporary conceptions of their world.   This also has some application to Norte California.  It is both heart warming and heart breaking.  I highly recommend this article for anyone who wants an intimate account of the Kumeyaay world: where there are no casinos and the acorn is still a staple, and why certain rocks and rock art are so important.  The Kumeyaay women interviewed live in the area of La Rumorosa that we have just visited.  Please follow link below to a PDF file for your reading enjoyment.
