A LONG TIME AGO IN NORTH AMERICA,

ACORNS WERE AN IMPORTANT STAPLE FOOD FOR THE LUISEÑO.

AFTER, THE LUISEÑOS GATHERED ALL

OF THE ACORNS, THEY STORED THEM IN GRANARIES.

THE LUISEÑOS USED A HAMMERSTONE TO TAKE OFF THE ACORN SHELL.

THE WINNOWING TRAY IS THEN USED TO TAKE OFF THE SKIN.

A MORTAR AND PESTLE WERE USED TO GRIND THE

ACORNS INTO A FIND FLOUR CALLED MEAL.

THE LUISEÑOS USED A PROCESS CALLED LEACHING TO REMOVE THE

TANNIC ACID FROM THE ACORN MEAL TO MAKE IT EDIBLE.

FINALLY THEY COOKED THE MEAL IN AN

OLLA AND STIRRED IT WITH A PADDLE.

IN CONCLUSION, ACORNS WERE A

VERY VALUABLE FOOD FOR THE LUISEÑOS.
