The Serrano people are a Native American group originally from the San Bernardino Mountains and surrounding areas in Southern California. They are part of the larger Uto-Aztecan language family and traditionally spoke the Serrano language. Their culture was centered around hunting, gathering, and trading, with a deep connection to the land. Historically, the Serrano people lived in small, semi-nomadic communities, utilizing local resources for food and shelter. Today, many Serrano descendants continue to preserve their cultural heritage and advocate for their rights, while also engaging in modern economic and social activities within their communities.
