Please add

Please add four places once were Serrano villages and farm land: Rancho San Timoteo (west of Beaumont), Axkawiet (near Murrieta), Temeku (Temecula) and Cucamonga (present-day Rancho Cucamonga). There's a residential neighborhood, Los Serranos of Chino Hills are named for what was a Serrano hunting ground, and the current site of the California Institution for Men state prison in Chino (and Ontario International Airport) used to belong to the Serranos, but sold the land to state officials and armed forces interests. 63.3.14.129 17:34, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that the Serrano people called themselves Maarenga'yam, the People of Maara.

Maara (Earth) + -nga (people of) + yam (plural marker)

I know some of the Serrano elders and I can check with them to make sure this is accurate.

Also, how do you cite things like talking to someone in person? I read in the rules that I'm not allowed to write about what I know; I can only write about what other people know.

Sources

Reached out to current San Manuel Mission Band of Indians Cultural Resource Manager and got a list of sources related to the anthropological, ethnobotanical [foodways], and archaeological readings of the Serrano. Reach out to me if you think I might have a source you need on the list. PoeticSoilDisturbance (talk) 05:17, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
