The Salinan Indians of California and Their Neighbors

-- and Their Neighbors. Betty War Brusa presents this history of the Salinan culture and customs, a once contented group of California natives, now swept into oblivion, who lived in an area stretching from the southern Salinas Valley south to near San Luis Obispo. A vocabulary listing is given for both the Salinan and neighboring Esselen. There is also information about the Chumash, Costanoans and Yokuts.
