The Juaneño Band of Mission Indians, Acjachemen Nation are the original
inhabitants of the lands that ultimately became the County of Orange, as well as
parts of San Diego, Los Angeles, and Riverside Counties. Long before the Spanish
arrived to build Mission San Juan Capistrano, the land of Orange County was home
to the Acjachemen people. For thousands of years, the Acjachemen culture and way
of life thrived because they understood their survival was interconnected with
the natural world. The oak woodlands, valley meadows, river marshes and ocean
were their supermarket, pharmacy, and hardware store. The native Acjachemen
viewed the land as something sacred that needed to be protected and carefully
used to insure the livelihood of their people.
Our ancestors provided the
original manpower for the construction of some of the earliest key landmarks in
Orange County, including the Mission San Juan Capistrano. While the American
Colonies were being founded on the East Coast, the Acjachemen Indians were
conscripted to build the mission here on the West Coast. We identified ourselves
as Acjachemen, but to the Spaniards who first came to our homeland, our souls
were apportioned by the jurisdiction of the missions, hence our Spanish name "Juaneño"
coming from the Mission at San Juan Capistrano.
The Juaneño Band of
Mission Indians, Acjachemen Nation is a State-recognized Native American Indian
Tribe possessed of inherent sovereign attributes and powers, exercising
jurisdiction over its ancestral homelands and territory. The tribal citizenship
of our great nation is numbered at 1,941 blood descendants, verified through
certified genealogist, who trace individual lineage to Acjachemen village
ancestors.
