Over the years the Costanoan Rumsen Carmel Indian Tribe has contributed to the development of the state of California, both in Culture and in History. Through out the following pages you will be introduced to our Tribe. You will meet Chief Chanjay and his descendents, and how they helped California grow to what we know it as now. You will come to know how we helped to build Missions along the route now known as the "El Camino Real", and how we came to settle in Southern California. We have broken up our history into segments of leadership. We have had many great leaders, known as Headman or Headwoman. Please click on a link below to start your journey through our History. This first link will start you at the beginning when Chief Chanjay encountered Father Serra in the area now known as Monterey. |
