Serrano culture
Serrano culture refers to the traditions and practices of the Serrano people, an Indigenous group native to the San Bernardino Mountains in Southern California. Historically, they lived in small villages and relied on hunting, gathering, and fishing for sustenance. Their social structure was organized around family units, and they spoke the Serrano language, which is part of the Uto-Aztecan language family.
The Serrano people are known for their rich cultural heritage, including traditional crafts, storytelling, and ceremonies. They utilized natural resources for tools and shelter, often creating items from materials like wood and stone. Today, efforts are being made to preserve and revitalize Serrano culture and language among younger generations.
