KUMEYAAY

The Kumeyaay are the original native inhabitants of San Diego County, living in the region for 12,000 years. Many of the neighborhoods in San Diego County, previously thought to be Spanish, are in fact Kumeyaay. Mat Loan translates to Point Loma by the Kumeyaay. It was here that they gathered mussels, fished, and harvested abalone shells to trade with Arizona tribes. Kumeyaay were masters of the bays and oceans. They were maritime people thousands of years before arrival of the Spaniards.
