Tataviam by Laurie Solis

The Tataviam

The Tataviam belong to the family of Serrano people who migrated down into the Antelope, Santa Clarita and San Fernando Valleys sometime before 450 A.D. They settled into the upper Santa Clarita River Drainage. This places the Serrano among the larger -Shoshonean- migration into southern California that occurred approximately 2,000 years ago.

Prior to Spanish contact the Tataviam lived in both large and small villages, comprised of thatched huts, traded with the local Chumash, Gabrielino and Kitenamuk, and learned to survive and thrive in their ecosystem.

The Tataviam were a culturally rich group, making beautiful and mysterious rock art, beautifully crafted arrowheads, bowls, and baskets.

This book gathers together the knowledge that the scholars, the early explorers and the Tataviam themselves have given us. This is their story.

Solis, Laurie: - Laurie Solis is from Vancouver, B.C. and her grandparents both immigrated from Sweden. Laurie developed a special bond with her grandmother, Freda, and enjoyed listening to many stories about the Old Country. The Little Red Huset was inspired by her recent trip to Sweden where she reconnected with many family members. This was an important story for Laurie to write to honour the thousands of people who emigrated in the early 1900's. They left behind family and traditions and did their best to hold onto them in a new country.

Laurie hopes this story encourages others to explore their Heritage and roots.

May stories continue to be told that should never be forgotten....
