There’s a newly hatched set of California condor chicks at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and they have been given names in the Kumeyaay language by members of three local bands.
In naming the three condor chicks that were born in March, the park worked with members from the San Pasqual Reservation, Campo Kumeyaay Nation and Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel.
The chosen names are Met-ha my wahm (high wind rider), Po-mahn-kwakurr (far-off flyer) and Eyaip-poman (flies through).
California condors are considered to be symbols of power by Indigenous people in the region, and the births of these three chicks is a significant part of local conservation efforts.

The Chula Vista City Council voted Tuesday to permanently remove a statue of Christopher Columbus that once stood at the corner of Discovery Park but was removed last year after repeated attacks of vandalism raised concerns over the monument.
The City’s Human Relations Commission recently passed a resolution asking the City to remove the statue and rename the park due to Columbus’ history of atrocities committed against indigenous people. Several members of Native American groups spoke before the Council last night to voice their opposition to honoring a man who left a legacy of pain and suffering.

Food insecurity is a prevalent issue in San Diego County. It’s a trend that existed long before the pandemic; however, since the outbreak, the impacts of food insecurity have, undoubtedly, been exacerbated.
On Mar. 17, Coastal Roots Farm hosted a Zoom conference addressing food insecurity with State Assemblymember Tasha Boerner Horvath, Coastal Roots CEO Javier Guerrero and Tribal Chairwoman of the Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel Bernice Paipa.
“Covid-19 has shed a light on the inequities that have always existed in any system,” Tasha explained.
The increased need for fresh produce is something that Coastal Roots Farm has witnessed firsthand through their pay-what-you-can farm stand.
