Holly leaf cherry and other edibles and pics


This was a major seasonal food source for the Pai Pai' Vey good eatng, albeit eith a large seed which was also gathered and used much the same way as acorns, in a mash.
Starting to become edible now!

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!
