The San Manuel Tribal Unity and Cultural Awareness Program invited KCBS-TV of Los Angeles to the traditional acorn harvest held in late fall above the San Manuel Indian Reservation. For countless generations, the Serrano people throughout Southern California have harvested acorns as a major food source. This television news story enables viewers to experience a glimpse of this food culture which includes processing acorn to remove inedible tannic acids, framed within the historical context of both pre-contact and post-contact periods of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.
