Kizh
Kizh Kit’c () are the Mission Indians of San Gabriel, according to Andrew Salas, Smithsonian Institution, Congress, the Catholic Church, the San Gabriel Mission, and other Indigenous communities. Most California tribes were known by their community and geographic names (Cucamonga, Pimuvungna, Topanagna, etc.). "Kizh" is derived from a reference by a Canadian ethnologist to one of the numerous villages in the Los Angeles Basin from records at ''Mission Viejas, Kizheriños'' (The People of the Willow Houses). Hugo Reid documented at least 28 Gabrielino villages. In 1811, the priests of Mission San Gabriel recorded four Gabrieliňo languages, each with minor dialect differences; Kokomcar, Guiguitamcar, Corbonamga, and Sibanga. During this same period, at Mission San Fernando, three additional languages were recorded. More than a century later, in January 1982, the U.S. Corps of Engineers issued a report describing and identifying numerous Gabrieliňo villages. Today the Kizh ...

Hispanicized
Hispanicization ( es, hispanización) refers to the process by which a place or person becomes influenced by Hispanic culture or a process of cultural and/or linguistic change in which something non-Hispanic becomes Hispanic. Hispanicization is illustrated by spoken Spanish, production and consumption of Hispanic food, Spanish language music, and participation in Hispanic festivals and holidays. In the former Spanish colonies, the term is also used in the narrow linguistic sense of the Spanish language replacing indigenous languages. Spain Within Spain, the term "Hispanization" can refer to the cultural and linguistic absorption of the ethnically Berber Guanches, the indigenous people of the Canary Islands in the century following their subjugation in the 15th century. It is relatively rarely used as a synonym for Castilianization (castellanización) i.e. the historical process whereby speakers of minority Spanish languages such as Catalan, Basque, Galician, Astur-Leonese or Ara ...
