Piwiva
Piwiva was a Acjachemen village located at the meeting place of the San Juan Creek and Cañada Gobernadora tributary in what is now Rancho Mission Viejo, California. The name for the village was closely related to the Payómkawichum word for wild tobacco ''piivat''. It was located north of Mission San Juan Capistrano, downstream from the village of Huumai and upstream from the village of Sajavit. Alternative names for the village include Pii'iv, Pivits, and Peviva. History The village was visited by the Portolá expedition in January 1770, after being missed on the first pass through the area in July 1769. Juan Crespí described the encounter as follows: "We met with no villages here on the way going up, but now we came upon some small houses roofed with tule rushes, with a good many gentile men, women and children living encamped here in the hollow. No sooner did they see us than, as if pleased, they set up a great hubbub, and all came over weaponless to the camp, very well ...

Putiidhem
Putuidem (''Acjachemen'': "belly" or "the navel"), alternative spelling Putiidhem or Putuidhem, was a large native village of the Acjachemen people, also known as '' Juaneño'' since their relocation to Mission San Juan Capistrano. The site was a mother village, the primary settlement of the tribe that spawned other villages. It was situated in what is currently San Juan Capistrano, California just off Interstate 5, about a mile north of the mission. It is now buried underneath the sports field and performing arts center of Junipero Serra Catholic High School, which began construction with approval from the city in 2003 after many attempts to preserve the site. In 2021, the Putuidem Village Park was opened in the city to commemorate the village. History Indigenous The village sat at the site of a spring, and was founded by Chief Oyaison, also spelled Oyison, who left Sejat after an extreme drought, and his daughter Coronne.

San Juan Creek
San Juan Creek, also called the San Juan River, is a long stream in Orange and Riverside Counties, draining a watershed of .7.5 Minute Quadrangle Map, U.S. Geological Survey, San Juan Capistrano, 1968, photorevised 1981 Its mainstem begins in the southern Santa Ana Mountains in the Cleveland National Forest. It winds west and south through San Juan Canyon, and is joined by Arroyo Trabuco as it passes through San Juan Capistrano. It flows into the Pacific Ocean at Doheny State Beach. San Juan Canyon provides a major part of the route for California State Route 74 (the Ortega Highway). Before Spanish colonization in the 1770s, the San Juan Creek watershed was inhabited by the Acjachemen or Juañeno Native Americans. The Juañeno were named by Spanish missionaries who built Mission San Juan Capistrano on the banks of a stream they named San Juan Creek. The watershed was used mainly for agriculture and ranching until the 1950s when residential suburban development began on a lar ...

Cañada Gobernadora
Cañada Gobernadora is a tributary to San Juan Creek, about long, in southern Orange County in the U.S. state of California. The creek begins in the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains (), at an elevation of , and flows south through residential, agricultural and finally undeveloped land, to its confluence with San Juan Creek a few miles upstream of the city of San Juan Capistrano (). The upper half of the stream is largely channelized and flows through golf courses, while the lower half is a wash-like channel that can be up to wide.

Juaneño Map
The Acjachemen (, alternate spelling: Acagchemem) are an Indigenous people of California. They historically lived south of what is known as Aliso Creek and north of the Las Pulgas Canyon in what are now the southern areas of Orange County and the northwestern areas of San Diego County. The Spanish colonizers called the Acjachemen ''Juaneños'', following their baptism at Mission San Juan Capistrano in the late 18th century. Today many contemporary members of the tribe prefer the term ''Acjachemen'' as their autonym, or name for themselves. The name is derived from the village of Acjacheme, which was less than sixty yards from the site where Mission San Juan Capistrano was built in 1776. Their language was a variety closely related to the Luiseño language of the nearby Payómkawichum (Luiseño) people. In the 20th century, the Juaneño Band of Mission Indians, Acjachemen Nation was organized but is not federally recognized. The lack of federal recognition has prevented the ...

Acjacheme
Acjacheme ("a heap of animated things") was an Acjachemen village that was closely situated to the mother village of Putuidem in what is now San Juan Capistrano, California. The Spanish missionaries constructed Mission San Juan Capistrano less than 60 yards from the village in 1776. ''Acjachemen'' is a pluralization of the word ''Acjacheme'', and became the moniker for the people overall after the mission period. The village has also been referred to as Akhachmai, Ahachmai, Akagchemem, Acágcheme'','' and Axatcme. The village site has been identified as being at an elementary school east of the mission by José de Grácia Cruz, who was one of the last native people born at the mission in the 1840s. ''Ahachmai'' has been referred to as a dialect or variety of the Acjachemen language and is used, although less commonly, to refer to the people as a whole.

Former Native American Populated Places In California
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the adv ...
