Tejon Indian Tribe
Our Tejon Tribal ancestors lived in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, along the southern tip of the San Joaquin Valley, and they were known as the Kitanemuk people. We were living in this part of California before it was part of the United States.
In historic, documented correspondence with city, state and federal officials, our very oldest Tejon elders spoke of the beginning of our people’s history, living in the Tejon area. This is rooted in the oral history that had been passed down to them.
