Written by B. Bryan Babcock for the Paperstore, Inc., February 2001 Introduction Like the Californians of today, California Indians were a diverse group.
According to McWilliams (1979) twenty-two linguistic styles have been documented, with about 138 different variations among those styles. These Indians were not so much tribal peoples as family groups,
with a distinct leader, but as far as titles go considered, the leader might more be considered the "father" of the group than an elected chief. These groups
often lived in small settlements that were family based, and geographically spaced according to the food supply. When living in groups numbers seldom exceeded 150, and were generally much
smaller. Pre-Columbian From documented information, according to McWilliams (1979) it is estimated that there were about 130,000 Indians in California. If that figure is close to accurate that would
have meant that California had about 16% of Native American peoples in the United States with about 5% of the land mass of the nation. There was not random distribution
of peoples in the area, as settlements were logically more concentrated around water. Members of all groups were particularly devoted to the land where they lived, attributing it in
a traditional manner, through different naming as "Mother Earth," and "Father Sky." We might say that all that remains of this devotion to the land has come to reside
in place names as: Anacapa, Azusa, Cahuenga, Camulos, Castac, Cosmit, Cucamonga, Cuyama, Cuyamaca, Guajome, Guatay, Hueneme, Jalama, Jamacha, Jamul, Jurupa, Lompoc, Malibu, Mugu, Muscipiabe, Nipomo, Ojai, Otay, Pocoima, Pala, Pismo,
