HISTORICALLY DEFINED
It's the foundation of this project. Through the careful research of many historians and scholars, it is now known that the first vines in California were planted by the Juaneno (Acjachemen) Indians at the Mission San Juan Capistrano in the year 1779. It is also known that the Mission Indians of each of the 21 Missions were the first winemakers of California. The co-founder of Native Hands, Chris Lobo is a 9th generation Juaneno Mission Indian who traces his tribal lineage back to the year 1747 within the aboriginal territory. It’s with this connection that we honor the first winemakers of California, the Mission Indians and their NATIVE HANDS.
CABERNET SAUVIGNON / CHIEF NU
The Nu, or chief, held a significant role within the designated villages of the Juaneño people contributing to the social structure and governance of the community. The position was hereditary and passed on usually to the eldest son to be next in line. The Nu's role extended beyond mere governance; they were often regarded as mediators, peacemakers, and protectors of the village, working to ensure the well-being and unity of the community. Through their wisdom, experience, and commitment to the tribe's values, the NU played a vital role in preserving the cultural heritage and traditions of the people.
