The Gabrielinos, part of the Southern Coastal group, resided in large villages along the California coast, from Topanga to Laguna Beach, and on coastal islands. Skilled hunters and fishermen, they relied on diverse resources, catching rabbits, ducks, and fishing with hooks and nets. Acorns and seeds enriched their diet, with acorns being transformed into a warm cereal known as mush. Expert basket makers, the women's crafts reflected their cultural significance. Before European contact, they identified themselves as Tongva, meaning "People of the Land." Fun fact: They even hunted sharks!
