About the Gabrielinos

The Gabrielinos are also known as the Tongva.

The Gabrielinos lived on the mainland and on the islands of the Los Angeles basin and its surrounding valleys. The area has been inhabited for as long as 10,000 years, but the specific date of the arrival of the Gabrielinos is not known. They were a people of the sea and they lived mainly by fishing and shellfish harvesting, by hunting wild deer and antelope, and by gathering roots and seed.

According to UCLA's website, "Today, it is estimated that a few hundred to a few thousand Tongva still live in California."

A Note From Mama Lisa...

I always welcome new contributions of traditional kids songs, nursery rhymes and folk songs. Please CLICK HERE to email Mama Lisa if you are interested and write "New Song" as the subject of the email.

Also, if anyone would like to sing any of these songs in the original language, or play any of the tunes on an instrument, I would love to post a recording on Mama Lisa's World. You could send me an audio cassette or you could record it directly onto the computer and email it to me. Remember... you don't have to be a professional singer or musician to contribute!
