Hey from California
« on: August 17, 2014, 06:45:22 PM »
Hey everyone, I'm Greg and I'm from California. I've been looking for a good resource for survival/minimalist camping. I was referred here.

I spent 4 years in the Army infantry with a deployment to Afghanistan.  :boltAction:

Welcome to Unchainedpreppers Nativeson!

Great group of guys & gals here with a broad breath of knowledge. Also what is cool about UP unlike some other prepper sites is that the entire spectrum of political thought and persuasion is represented here.  :dance:

Don't hesitate to jump in to ask a question, answer a question someone might have and to search the humungous archives.

Welcome  :thumbsUp:

I make it work living here. This is where my tribe is from. The way I see it, I have more right than anyone to be here.

What tribe? If I may be so curious.

The Gabrelino band of Tongva. And possibly Chumash.

I had absolutely no idea that there was a significant native presence along the west coast pre-colonization, probably because they made contact so early on. ( I live in the midwest )
Very interesting, thank you.

We were ruled by the Spaniards, and at one point, because of a bounty on our heads, we disappeared. We were thought to be extinct for a century.

Anthropologically speaking, we're one of the oldest tribes in the New World, coming shortly after the Inuits.

That is probably true, but you're likely one of the most discriminated against.
