“The first governor of #California, Peter Burnett, issued bounties on the heads of native people. Fifty cents for a child, $2.50 for a woman, $5 for men. Over $1.5 million was paid off. Our numbers prior to California becoming a state were over 85% native to 15% non-native. Within 20 years, the numbers had dropped by over 80%.”

- Stanley Rodriguez, #Kumeyaay Community College President

Hashtag heavy #AskFedi post —

I’m collecting #Translation (s) of the phrase “I voted” for an upcoming art #Quilt project

Interested in #languages spoken in the #SanDiego region of the US including #Kumeyaay #Chinese #Japanese, #Korean #Hmong #Thai #Laotian #Vietnamese #Tagalog #Portuguese #Russian #Armenian #Greek #Polish #Hindi
#Persian #Somali #Dari #Pashto

My #Quilting style works best with a Latin alphabet, but I may be able to replicate non-Latin scripts if they aren’t too curvy

TIA!

“This new MLS club will be owned…by the federally recognized tribe Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation, an indigenous American tribe believed to have been in the San Diego area for more than 12,000 years.

The Sycuan Tribe becomes the first Native American tribe to have an ownership stake in a professional soccer club in the United States, according to MLS.”
