The New Kumeyaay.com
When re-developing the website, we decided we wanted it to focus more on Native American News, Health News, and Events. The site will continue to carry on the educational and historical aspect of the Kumeyaay Nation through the “Kumeyaay History” portion of the site. We will continue to keep this updated with articles and resources for the academic community.
As always, this site will remain dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the Kumeyaay culture. Kumeyaay.com tells the story from the Kumeyaay perspective, and is the premiere source for Kumeyaay Indian information.
Along with news and events, we have added a “Pow Wow” section where we will post upcoming pow wow’s throughout the United States.
Kumeyaay.com Founder, Larry Banegas, “I’ve always believed how important it is to preserve the Kumeyaay culture and create an online source for Native Americans to come together. We will stay up to date on Native American news and happenings.”
Who are the Kumeyaay?
The Kumeyaay Nation extends from San Diego and Imperial Counties in California to 60 miles south of the Mexican border. The Kumeyaay are members of the Yuman language branch of the Hokan group.
