Kiliwa Tribe
I am seeking general background information on the Kiliwa people of northern Baja California for a scientific publication describing a new species of
scarab beetle.
I am interested in brief historical accounts, present day status, correct pronunciation of "Kiliwa" and is Kiliwa or Kolew the correct reference.
Thank you.

Nuts far to many letters in the URL to copy here. Just type in Kiliwa Indians in Google and you will find everything you want.

Nice looking bug, and judging from the beautiful petro pics by Don Jorge, it has been around awhile. See:

Scroll down on the page left to "cave5.jpg" Looks familiar to me.

Kiliwa Peoples
The most detailed ethnographic study of the Kiliwa was done in the late 1930s by Peveril Meigs, who also wrote his dissertaion later published as a
monograph on the Dominican missions located between Rosario and the international border.

Library
PEVERIL MEIGS (1903-1979) (Ph.D., 1932). Both Meigs studies were published in the 1930s. The Kiliwa monograph was a part of one of the University of
California series, in Anthropology I believe. You would have to look in a library. About 30 years ago I was able to get a copy of Meigs study on the
Dominican missions in a used bookstore: Peveril Meigs, The Dominican Mission Frontier of Lower California (Berkeley: University of California Press,
1935). My volume on the Baja California missions in the Borderlands Sourcebooks Series published in the early 1990s by Garland reproduced much of
Meigs's book on the Dominican missions. The title of the Kiliwa study is: "The Kiliwa Indians of Lower California (Mexico)." Univ. Calif. Publ.
Geogr., 15, 133 pp., 1939. He also co-authored a study with Carl Sauer on San Fernando mission: "Site and culture at San Fernando de Velicat?." (with
Carl Sauer) Univ. Calif. Publ. Geogr., 2(9):271-302, 1927. Here is his complete resume as listed at the Geography program at U.C. Berkeley, which is
also my alma mater:

Bugdude,
As you can see, you came to the right place. And that's only the first 4 hours!!!
You'll probably get a lot more responses as there are a couple of bug people and Baja history buffs here that haven't responded yet.
Let us know when you publish that paper. You might want to consider donating a copy to the Baja Library being put together at El Rosario.
I'm curous, are you going to cite Baja Nomad as a source?

Thanks to everyone who has replied thus far.
I am still hoping to find (and searching the internet) how the name is correctly pronounced (where the accent lies) as an act of cross-cultural
courtesy.
Todos para el momento. Grazias.

Bugdude,
In August on Baja Talk Radio (http://www.worldtalkradio.com/show.asp?sid=126) we had Mike Wilken, who is an expert of the indigeounos of Baja California, as a guest on the
radio program. You can listen to the show and contact him for information.

Thanks for the link. A lot of excellent information there. Highly recommended as well as a perusal of the archives. There are several other shows that
I want to listen to when time permits.
FYI: The name is pronounced keh-lee-wah
Muchas gracias y buena suerte.

Thanks for the interesting question. I learned alot from my google search.
acording to this site, http://www.indigenouspeople.net/kiliwa.htm they call themselves the Ko'lew or man hunters. Kiliwa is what other tribes called them. I wonder if
Kiliwa means "people you hide from".

If you will be in Ensenada Nov 26-27, might learn some answers here....
NATIVA 2005: FESTIVAL OF TRADITIONAL ARTS OF BAJA CALIFORNIA
Native artists from the Paipai, Kumiai, Cucapa and Kiliwa communities will gather in Ensenada, Baja California,
Mexico to take part in an interactive marketplace featuring the traditional arts of Baja California. This is a wonderful opportunity for the public,
buyers and specialists to interact directly with indigenous artists and learn about the handcraft traditions that have been passed on from countless
generations of native peoples of the peninsula.
The Native Arts and Traditional Foods Marketplace will be held Saturday and Sunday, November 26-27, from 11 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. at the Hotel Misi?n
Santa Isabel, Blvd. L?zaro C?rdenas y Ave. Castillo, in Ensenada. There will be more than 30 traditional artists from the indigenous communities of
Baja California with a rich array of traditional pottery, basektry (willow, juncus rush, pine and palm), beaded jewelry, bows and arrows, sage
incense, leather articles, sculptures and many other unique handmade items (see attached poster). The market will also feature interactive classes in
which the public can sit with an artisan and learn to make a craft, demonstrations of traditional food preparation (including samples and food
booths), an auction and an arts contest.
The event is organized by the Alliance for Sustainable Development (ADESU; see www.adesu.org), a project that unites indigenous communities, organizations of Mexico and the US, and individuals to work for cultural and natural
heritage conservation through sustainable development in Baja California?s native lands. Current participants include, Terra Peninsular, dedicated to
land conservation in Baja California http://www.terrapeninsular.org/, The Native Cultures Institute of Baja California (CUNA), Interamerican Foundation, and volunteers from Mexico and
the US in collaboration with the indigenous communities of Baja California.
For more information, or to help sponsor this important event, please call (from USA): 1 818 264 4519; from Mexico: 646 178 8780 (Spanish only) or
646 174 6732 (English); or e-mail cunabc@telnor.net in either language. For hotel map and information, visit: http://www.baja.com/ENSENADA/lodging/santa_isabel/

Yes, from what I understand and have researched online, the Kiliwa call themselves Ko'lew which roughly translates to "man hunter" but I considered
the etymology as referring to the aboriginal Kiliwa as hunters (of game) and gatherers and who reportedly engaged in some agriculture?
