Sinforosa Fustero & Family
Tataviam Indians

Sinforosa Fustero (right) of Newhall was the mother of Juan Jose Fustero of Camulos, who is believed to have been the last full-blooded Tataviam Indian.

Tataviam Indians, a small group of speakers of a Takik dialect (Uto-Aztecan language family) were present in the Santa Clarita Valley by AD 500, around the time of the introduction of the bow and arrow.
