Everything about Luise O totally explained
The
Luiseño are a
Native American people who at the time of the first contacts with the Spanish in the 16th century inhabited the coastal area of southern California, ranging 50 miles from the southern part of
Los Angeles County,
California to the northern part of
San Diego County,
California, and inland 30 miles. In the
Luiseño language, Luiseño people call themselves
Payomkowishum, meaning "People of the West."
The tribe was named Luiseño by the Spanish due to their proximity to the
Mission San Luís Rey de Francia ("The Mission of
Saint Louis King of France," known as the "King of the Missions"), which was founded on
June 13,
1798 by Father
Fermín Francisco de Lasuén, located in what is now
Oceanside, California, in
northern San Diego County, in what was the
First Military District.
The
Luiseño language is in the
Uto-Aztecan family of languages.
Population
Estimates for the pre-contact populations of most native groups in California have varied substantially.
(See Population of Native California.) Alfred L. Kroeber (1925:649, 883) put the 1770 population of the Luiseño (including the Juaneño) at 4,000-5,000. Frederic Noble Hicks (1963:73-74) estimated 7,500-8,000 inhabitants, and Raymond C. White (1963:117, 119) proposed 10,000.
Kroeber estimated the population of the Luiseño in 1910 as 500.
