Cahuilla is one of the few indigenous languages of So. California, poised to survive and thrive into the 22nd century, thanks in large part to the groundbreaking work which professors Seiler, Hioki, and their Cahuilla language experts accomplished.The future of the Cahuilla language is now in the hands of the Cahuilla people themselves, who, armed with the excellent data which Seiler s and Hioki s scholarship provides, can now begin the serious task of revitalizing their ancestral language by incorporating it into their daily lives and the lives of their children.The Cahuilla language is a member of the Uto-Aztecan language family. This dictionary completes the description of the language which has been carried out by Professor Seiler over many years, and facilitates access to his Cahuilla Texts (1970 University of Nebraska), as well as many illustrations of points discussed in Cahuilla Grammar (1977 Malki Museum Press) and an abundant resource for comparative Uto-Aztecan Studies.

Review\nHarry C. James, who has written many useful books on the Southwest, has had a long time intimacy with the Cahuilla. His present book describes their successful fight for food against desert conditions. Then it goes on to later history under the Spanish and the Americans. For sheer brutality, there seems to have been little to choose between the two. Besides, its general interest, this book should be excellent reading as a supplement to geography and history. --Ruth Underhill\nJames sympathetically portrays a much maligned people … His dramatic description of their history and culture, their ceremonial life, and their highly poetic and broadly cosmic folklore ably supports his thesis that they are a proud, intelligent people --Montana Magazine

This is the third in a series of brochures for the general public published by the Malki Museum, Inc. on the Indians of Southern California. Although the Chemehuevi Indians are the only local tribe to migrate into California during the period of recorded history, little is known about them. This is probably due to the fact that most of the Chemehuevi have been absorbed by the other Shoshonean groups who arrived earlier.

Dictionary of Mesa Grande Diegueno is the first dictionary of a Yuman Indian language, and introduces a world of words, sounds, and ideas which directly reflect a still vital cultural tradition of California and the Southwest. Diegueno is the major native language of San Diego County, and is still spoken today in a variety of dialects in the northern part of Baja California. This dictionary is presented in a practical orthography devoid of special symbols, fully capable of representing the sounds of the language. Although no specialized knowledge is required for its use, making the dictionary suitable for both the layman and the scholar, it conforms at the same time to sound principles of linguistic scholarship. The intention of the authors, assisted by their editor Margaret Langdon, was to produce a dictionary which would prove of value not only to linguists, anthropologists, and historians, but which could be used by Indian people, school teachers, and everyone interested in the California Indian.

By Villiana Hyde, a member of the Rincon Reservation in San Diego County, California. Edited by Ronald W. Langsacker, in collaboration with Pamela Munro et. al. From Wikipedia: The Luiseño language is an Uto-Aztecan language of California spoken by the Luiseño, a Native American people who at the time of the first contacts with the Spanish in the 16th century inhabited the coastal area of southern California, ranging 50 miles from the southern part of Los Angeles County, California, to the northern part of San Diego County, California, and inland 30 miles. The people are called "Luiseño" due to their proximity to the Mission San Luis Rey de Francia.
