Dona Teresa
La Dona Teresa, native speaking Pai Pai, whose granson she is teaching the languge too and is in the picture too, giving an oral history from the
recolections and words passed on to her from her elders,
She recounted to times when before the missionaries arrived and when the missionaries arrived demanded they, the natives, go cut the pinion and
cypress and cedar from up in the mountains to build missions, most of which are in ruins and were ruined from the start. That ain't ag land they
picked!
She id the woman who still makes the agave fiber items!
