Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chemehuevi of the Twenty-Nine Palms tribe of Southern California stands as a testament to the power of perseverance. This small, nomadic band of Southern Paiute Indians has been repeatedly marginalized by European settlers, other Native groups, and, until now, historical narratives that have all too often overlooked them. Having survived much of the past two centuries without rights to their homeland or any self-governing abilities, the Chemehuevi were a mostly “forgotten” people until the creation of the Twenty-Nine Palms Reservation in 1974. Since then, they have formed a tribal government that addresses many of the same challenges faced by other tribes, including preserving cultural identity and managing a thriving gaming industry. A dedicated historian who worked closely with the Chemehuevi for more than a decade, Clifford Trafzer shows how this once-splintered tribe persevered using sacred songs and other cultural practices to maintain tribal identity during the long period when it lacked both a homeland and autonomy. The Chemehuevi believe that their history and their ancestors are always present, and Trafzer honors that belief through his emphasis on individual and family stories. In doing so, he not only sheds light on an overlooked tribe but also presents an important new model for tribal history scholarship. A Chemehuevi Song strikes the difficult balance of placing a community-driven research agenda within the latest currents of indigenous studies scholarship. Chemehuevi voices, both past and present, are used to narrate the story of the tribe’s tireless efforts to gain recognition and autonomy. The end result is a song of resilience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In my tribal calling as genealogist for the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah I have ammassed Native Amrican family histories covering Arizona, Califronia, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah. 46,000 names so far. This has permitted me to elucidate their migrations and origins. This study included the Cahuilla, Chemehuevi, Kawaiisu, Luiseno, Mono Paiute, Southern Paiute, Serrano, Shoshone, Tataviam (Fernandeno), Timbisha (Death Valley), Tongva (Gabrielino), and the Tubatulabals. This book is the result of this study. This book explores the Indian slave trade along with Indian escape stories. Indian origin stories are related. One escape story is about the Garfias ranch in Altadena and Pasadena, California. Another escape story tells of escape from Navajo servitude. A Tataviam story teller from the first century B.C. tells a thrilling epic sea voyage that he takes from the seething cauldron of Mesoamerican violence to Santa Clarita, California by way of a white knuckle adventure that takes him to Northern California. Then he takes you on a thrilling adventure of discovery and geological magic (magic to him) in the deserts of California. His adventures will reach out and grab you. The role of Death Valley in peopling the Great Basin is explored. The great Ute migration to Utah is elucidated. Southern and Northern Paiute origins are probed. The Tongva (Gabrielino Indians) of the Los Angeles Basin are depicted as the source from whence the Cahuilla, Serrano, and Luiseno Indians came from. Whereas the Tongva (Fernadeno Indians) are shown to be the source ot the tribes of the desert areas north and northeast from Los Angeles on into Nevada, idaho, Utah, Wyoming, and out on to the plains as the dreaded Comanche. After the collapse of the Anasazi came the Southern Paiutes to fill the Anasazi vacancy ahead of the Navajo migration.
