Language Main Kitanemuk language The Kitanemuk spoke a Uto Aztecan languages Uto Aztecan language , probably akin to that of the Takic branch and to the Serrano language in particular. Population main Population of Native California Estimates for the pre contact populations of most native groups in California have varied substantially. Alfred L. Kroeber 1925 883 proposed a 1770 population for the Kitanemuk, together with the Serrano and Tataviam, as 3,500. Thomas C. Blackburn and Lowell John Bean 1978 564 estimated the Kitanemuk alone as 500 1,000. The combined population of the Kitanemuk, Serrano, and Tataviam in 1910 had fallen to only 150 persons, according to Kroeber. History The Kitanemuk were first contacted by the Franciscan missionary explorer Francisco Garc s in 1776. Some Kitanemuk were recruited and relocated for the Spanish missions in California Spanish missions of Mission San Fernando Rey de Espa a in the San Fernando Valley , Mission San Gabriel Arc ngel in the San Gabriel Valley , and perhaps Mission San Buenaventura at the coast in Ventura County, California Ventura County . Therefore they are sometimes grouped with the Mission Indians . Beginning in the 1850s, they were associated with the reservations at Fort Tejon and Tule River.
