salinan

The Salinan Native Americans lived in what is now Northern California, in the Salinas Valley. Now extinct, there were two to three thousand Salinans in 1770. The Census of 1910 reported 16, and 1930, none. The Salinans spoke a language in the Hokan group. There were two major divisions, the San Miguel in the south, on the upper course of the Salinas river (which flows south to north), and the San Antonio in the north, in the lower part of the Salinas basin. There were also the a Playano group which lived on the Pacific coast in the vicinity of what is now San Simeon and Lucia. This corresponded to the two Missions in the Salinas Valley. The Salinans lived by hunting and gathering and were organized in small groups with little centralized political structure.
