Luiseno Ethnozoology
The Luiseño are the most Southwestern group of Shoshonean people in the
greater North American desert. The name Luiseño came from their having lived in
close proximity to the Spanish mission San Luis Rey (1798-1834) which is located
in northern San Diego County near Oceanside, California. Originally, the Luiseño
may have been called Payomkawichum ('The Westerners') by neighboring people and
Ataxum ('The People') by themselves.
The Luiseño occupied parts of north coastal San Diego County and Riverside
County in pre-Hispanic (before 1769) Southern California. It is theorized that
the Luiseño came into Southern California approximately 5,000-7,000 years ago
during severe altithermals (drought periods) from the Basin areas east of the
Sierra Nevada Mountains. Their Shoshonean neighbors like the Cupeño, Cahuilla,
Serrano, Gabrieliño and Chemehuevi were part of this migration. This Southern
California environment was and is a mild coastal desert environment dominated by
the Coastal Sagebrush Scrub plant community that is often referred to as
chaparral, a word derived from the Spanish "chaparro", scrub oak. The Luiseño
gathered and used a great deal of plants ; but
also hunted and used animals in this environment. Traditional views saw the
plants as a sacred link to the earth producing nutrients directly for herbivores
and indirectly for carnivores. Meat of herbivores, like deer, was seen as sacred
since they ate the plants.
The Luiseño
also recognized the interaction of various factors, such as water, disease,
predator/prey, and natural burns that impacted the population of game animals on
land and in water. At times they figured out ways of improving game animal
populations through techniques such as controlled burning. Such management
usually increased population of rodents and grazing animals due to the post burn
growth surge of herbaceous plants, but it could prove risky if heavy rain
followed purposeful set burns. Evidence indicates that varying climates and
human use was usually less detrimental to environments than today's
developmental impact. Southern California abounded in deer, elk, antelope and
numerous rodents, birds, reptiles, etc. on the land with fish, turtles,
crustacea, mollusks, and mammals in the fresh and salt water. The Luiseño
devised a seasonal pattern of hunting and gathering that started with the ocean
and lowland lagoon/rivers in the spring; and worked there way up into the
mountains by fall for great acorn gathering festivals.
The peoples biggest competition for most of these resources was the California
grizzly, which pretty much followed the same seasonal pattern. The animals like
humans overlapped the more fixed plant zones, but due
to the semi-arid climate many would not be visible in the day. The coyote was
one of the most successful animals of the chaparral/scrub communities, but it
like humans consumed more plant material than meat.
We will examine the Luiseño
use of animals (Kingdom: Animalia), but due to multiple uses the species will be
listed by taxonomy, rather than by use.
