Anthony Pico is the elected chairman of the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians. He has served as the Viejas tribal chairman for more than 24 years.

SIX HUNDRED GENERATIONS IN SAN DIEGO

For some 12,000 years, Mr. Pico's Kumeyaay ancestors have occupied the region known today as Southern California (Imperial and San Diego counties) in the USA, and Baja California Norte in Mexico.

Chief Cinon Duro Mataweer (c. 1815-1910) is a famous 19th century American Indian spiritual leader (kuseyaay or tribal shaman). He is the great-great-grandfather of Anthony Pico. Photo courtesy of the Pico family archive, special to calie.org.

'Before gaming and revenue our people lived in despair, in abject and grinding poverty.

'This lifestyle was not a choice that we made.

'We were driven into the mountains, into the rocks — languished there for 150, 200 years not having an opportunity to access the economics of this rich and abundant country.

'We need to be in a place where those children that are not yet born — we know those seven generations ahead of today — need to be in a place where they can stand, have their own land to stand on to be able to make choices, to be able to live in dignity.'

-Excerpted from Anthony Pico, PBS interview, 1997
