Meníll
The Cahuilla Indians believed that powerful beings called the Nuka-tem were the first to be created. One of them, Meníll the moon maiden, was a mother figure who taught her adopted children the lessons they needed for their health, well-being and survival.
Mukat's People
From the Introduction by Lowell J. Bean:An apparent dichotomy exists in scientific circles concerning the role of religion and belief systems and a similar dichotomy exists among anthropological theorists. Two assumptions seem to prevail: ritual and world view are more ecologically nonadaptive than adaptive; or ritual and world view are more ecologically adaptive than they are nonadaptive. To examine the relevancy of the opposing theoretical views I will develop hypotheses concerning a particular culture, the Cahuilla Indians of Southern California, which will be used as a test case. I will present two sets of hypotheses which logically follow from each of the assumptions. From the first ass...
The Heart Is Fire
The Cahuilla people live, as they have from the time of creation, in the arid and yet hospitable lands of southern California. Their traditional territory stretches from the San Bernardino Mountains to Anza Borrego Springs, from the San Jacinto Mountains to the Colorado Desert. The land abounds in hot springs because, as Cahuilla traditionalist Pedro Chino once explained, the heart of the land is fire. If the earth doesn't breathe, it will blow up. The Heart is Fire offers a rare, first-person insight into a remarkable California Indian culture. In relaxed, conversational language, Cahuilla elders discuss a variety of topics: family, language, rock art, basketry, pottery, song, medicine, traditional food preparation, and other aspects of Cahuilla life. They describe the creation of the Cahuilla world in mythic times and discuss the singing of "bird songs," epic accounts of the wanderings of the first people. With passion, knowledge, sadness, and laughter, they relate what Cahuilla life was like when they were young, what it means to be Cahuilla today, and how they envision the future of their culture.
