“We are Ipai, meaning “the People” in the ancient language of our land. From our ancestors we learned the stories of the creation of every part of the world and the people, plants and animals that live there.” People Blood of the Band – An Ipai Family Story is written by David L. Toler, Jr., a descendent of the Ipai tribe (also known as Kumeyaay).
This fascinating book illustrates how one Ipai family’s remarkable story forms part of the significant long-term history of human habitation in the land that only recently has come to be known as southern California. Beginning ancestors’ accounts of the creation of the world that connect the Ipai with our natural world, this historical journey takes readers through the archaeological, historical, ethnographic and contemporary accounts of the dramatic transformations through which the Ipai have persisted and ultimately prospered.
Blood of the Band is meant to acknowledge the stamina, resilience and perseverance this region’s native peoples, not only during prehistoric times, but also in the face of more recent adversities, and ultimately successes.
