Gabrielino traditional narratives
- Gabrielino traditional narratives
Gabrielino traditional narratives include myths, legends, tales, and oral histories preserved by the Gabrielino (Tongva)people of the Los Angeles basin and vicinity in southern California.
Gabrielino oral literature is relatively little known, because of the early absorption of that group into the Spanish mission culture. The available evidence suggests strong cultural links with the group's linguistic kin and neighbors to the south and east, the Luiseño and the Cahuilla. ("See also" Traditional narratives (Native California).)
