The Juaneño were a semi-sedentary hunter/ gatherer cultural group. They were in reality part of a larger dialectic group of loose family clans that included the Luiseño, Cupeño, and Cahuilla. The Juaneño name was a result of the mission to which this ethnie was indentured. Prior to arrival, they occupied present Orange County from Aliso Creek southward. The Juaneño were indentured to mission San Juan Capistrano and their culture was destroyed by the Spanish missionization.
