Barbara June Cuero was born on June 13, 1945, under an oak tree where her home stands today on the Campo Indian Reservation.
She is a tribal member of the Campo Band of the Kumeyaay Nation.
Growing up on the Reservation was never easy, especially in her days, but she got by with the little she had because Campo was where her roots were and it was her home.

Others moved onto reservation land and declared Kumeyaay improvements their own, not for the purpose of acquiring the property, but to file for compensation from the government when the land finally was deeded to the Indians.
Kumeyaay bands placed and originally located on the El Capitan Grande Reservation were evicted from their valley homes in 1934, as a result of the city of San Diego’s desire to provide water for new development.
The Kumeyaay face the dawn of the new millennium with a vision of healing the crippling effects of poverty and racism, and the opportunity for a cultural and economic renaissance.

 San Diego Metropolitan - The Kumeyaay Millennium - January 2000
The Kumeyaay planted trees and fields of grain; grew squash, beans and corn; gathered and grew medicinal herbs and plants, and dined on fresh fruits, berries, pine nuts and acorns.
The Kumeyaay took advantage of the different climatic zones in the region, surviving fluctuations in the climate by rotating domestic crops and living off varieties of food sources in the different ecological systems.
The Kumeyaay and other Indians were friendly toward the Americans, hopeful that this new government would keep promises to settle the land disputes and treat the Indians fairly.

The Kumeyaay were seasonal hunters and gatherers whose individual bands ranged along waterways from the San Diego coastal region, east through the Cuyamaca and Laguna Mountains to beyond the Salton Sea in the east, and south beyond current-day Ensenada in Mexico.
The Kumeyaay women wore the afore mentioned willow bark skirt (pounded strips of willow bark) which was sewn into two apron pieces and tied on, one to the front and the thicker longer one tied to the back.
The Kumeyaay nation was organised into territorial hands and each controlled approximately 10 to 30 miles of river drainage, depending upon the width and richness of the valley.

 The Kumeyaay
A distinction is often made between mountain and desert inhabitants, restricting use of the name "Kumeyaay" to groups living in the mountains and near the coast, and applying the term "Kamia" to the desert-oriented groups (see Hedges 1975 for a thorough discussion).
In any case, although the Kumeyaay were dependent upon wild foods at European contact, a shift in subsistence had apparently started in the sense that at least some techniques of incipient agriculture were being practiced in some areas.
In any case, the Kumeyaay traced their descent patrilineally (i.e., through one's father), were exogamous at the level of the descent group (i.e., one had to marry outside one's own lineage or clan), and practiced patrilocal residence (i.e., a married woman lived with her husband's father's relatives).

 The Kumeyaay (Digueño) Indians of San Diego County & Baja - DesertUSA
In spite of the efforts of Spanish missionaries to convert the San Diego-area Kumeyaay to Christianity and the use of presidio soldiers to subdue them, many bands resented the European intrusion and the Kumeyaay remained the most resistant of all California Indians to subjugation, revolting on several occassions.
Freed of mission control, most Kumeyaay fled to the mountains where they could not be forced to work for the Mexican settlers or the army, and the population started to rebuild.
Kumeyaay homes were circular, domed structures woven from willow branches that still had the leaves attached.

 Jon Meza Cuero & Stanley Rodriguez
For Kumeyaay Indians, who live in San Diego County and in Baja California, the perpetuation of traditional songs is extremely important to the maintenance of cultural identity.
Today, the most commonly known song cycle is that of Bird Songs, which are used primarily for entertainment and have allowed the Kumeyaay to maintain a connection with their cultural past despite the contact with and destructive influences of Europeans.
Jon Meza Cuero is possibly one a few Kumeyaay in the United States who knows the wildcat cycle of songs, one of the many cycles of songs sung by the Kuymeyaay.

The Mission of the Kumeyaay Cultural Repatriation Committee (KCRC) is to protect and preserve ancestral remains, sacred lands, sacred objects and funerary objects under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) for today and future generations.
KCRC is unique in that it is comprised of 12 Kumeyaay tribes of San Diego County: Barona, Campo, Cuyapaipe, Inja-Cosmit, Jamul, La Posta, Manzanita, Mesa Grande, San Pasqual, Santa Ysabel, Sycuan, and Viejas, all working together cooperatively to achieve their goal of repatriation.
Our objective was to restore the Kumeyaay's ability to cross and re-cross, as they have done for thousands of years without hindrance, for cultural exchange and social visits, as well as ceremonial purposes.

The degree to which pre-contact Kumeyaay were affected by introduced diseases is uncertain; what is known is that the post-contact Kumeyaay suffered terrible losses because of diseases borne by the Spanish intruders.
While there is little doubt that initially, at least, the Kumeyaay were impressed by the technology of the intruders and coveted some of the material goods possessed by the Spaniards, the perception seems pragmatically based and not reverential.
While some historians seem bewildered by the Kumeyaay failure to attack the nearby presidio, it seems probable that the presidio, which was weakly garrisoned, was not the target.

Visualization of the Kumeyaay’s lifestyle is aided not only at a visitors center, which looks like a modernistic eagle perched on a natural hillside, but also by various trailside story boards and exhibits.
We should appreciate the ancient Kumeyaay culture for what it was—without overlaying upon it something foreign, they tell me. I can appreciate, even applaud, their desire to appreciate Kumeyaay culture in its original form and in situ, but I also have a feeling that the ancient Kumeyaay would not have been such purists about it.
I cannot say whether the Kumeyaay creation story predated the arrival of the Spanish missionaries, or whether the various biblical stories somehow were woven into the Kumeyaay’s spiritual basket.

 Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology
The Kumeyaay, including the Ipai and Tipai dialects, occupied the largest and most diverse territory of any Native Californian group—from arid deserts to alpine mountains, foothills, and a large expanse of coast, from what is now San Diego County to northern Baja California.
The Early Ethnography of the Kumeyaay reprints the pioneering research of three anthropologists of the early part of the 20th century—Thomas T. Waterman, Leslie Spier, and Edward W. Gifford—who worked with consultants from all the major Kumeyaay regions.
Introductions by archaeologist M. Steven Shackley and Steven Lucas-Pfingst, a Kumeyaay archaeological consultant and artist, explore the particular perspective brought to the research by these early scholars, contrasting them with recent anthropological research in the region.

The Kumeyaay themselves were a large band spread throughout what is present-day San Diego county and into northern Baja California, comprising two divisions with dialects of the same language.
The Kumeyaay lived in hundreds of small semi-permanent "rancherías" or village camping spots, migrating with the seasons to the mountains during the annual harvest of acorns and grain grasses which were their staple foods.
Probably between nineteen and twenty-five thousand Kumeyaay people resided in San Diego at the time of first Spanish contacts in 1769.

The modern day Paipai make a living raising livestock, harvesting the natural resources of their land (such as yucca, pine nuts, honey, and firewood), raising crops, and making handicrafts such as pottery, bows and arrows, and agave fiber carrying nets.
Traditionally, the Kumeyaay territory extended about 50 to 75 miles both north and south of the present day U.S.-Mexico border, west to the Pacific Ocean and east near the Colorado River.
These Mexican bands of the Kumeyaay are close relatives of the San Diego Indians and maintain close personal relationships despite the presence of the international border.

Eagle Scout troops and volunteers have built trails, planted vegetation and constructed Kumeyaay houses of willow branches and tule reeds at the center to recreate a landscape resembling the Pauwai Valley at the time the Kumeyaay roamed the land.
Community members should be applauded for pooling their efforts to move forward with the center, especially since the state was unable to contribute funding for the project, Zettel said.
In 2000, the Poway City Council reached an agreement with the San Pasqual band of Mission Indians, the nearest Kumeyaay tribal members, to open the center.

Electricity from the Kumeyaay Wind Project's 25 turbines that generate 2 MW each has begun flowing from the wind farm on Campo Indian Reservation atop the Tecate Divide into San Diego Gas & Electric's grid after eight months of construction and a month of testing.
For the Campo tribe, the wind farm diversifies its income from the lease of the land beneath the turbines.
The Kumeyaay Wind farm annually will produce power sufficient for about 30,000 homes and will save approximately 110,000 tons a year in greenhouse gas emissions, compared with equivalent fossil fuel generation.
