Jessica R. Bojorquez, La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians “I learned later on in life that I was Native. My parents didn’t tell us, because back in the day, my grandparents’ generation, it was even worse to be Native than it was to be Black in Southern California. Natives weren't allowed in town, we had bounties on our heads. A lot of Natives transferred over to the Spanish side. They went across the border and portrayed themselves as Mexicans, that way they could go into town and buy things and not be killed, in other words."
