Tataviam Village Map
Santa Clarita Valley
Known and presumed locations of Tataviam Indian villages in the Santa Clarita Valley and vicinity.
Few sites have been confirmed through archaeological evidence (for instance, some of the major
villages such as Tochananga and Chaguayabit [here, Tsavayu] have not been discovered). However,
village names and locations are given in the records of Mission San Fernando.
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.
