Tejon Indian Tribe

The Tejon Indian Tribe of California is a federally recognized tribe of Kitanemuk Indigenous people of California.

Tejon will exercise its sovereignty and jurisdiction through meaningful self-governance honoring the needs and traditions of our people and ensuring the provision of exemplary service to our members. Tejon will dedicate itself to the highest standards of educational opportunity for its members so that they have the resources to personally succeed and represent the nation proudly and ably. Tejon will pursue health and medical support for all Tribal members to overcome the health issues so prevalent among us and all of Indian country and contribute to longer, happier and healthier lives. Tejon will ensure that families are secure on their lands and in their homes by reestablishing its land base and affording space and opportunity for all Tejon members to return and reside in safe, affordable, and appropriate housing.

This January, TCAP has been out in the Kern community for Human Trafficking and Stalking Awareness Month. These issues are real in our communities, and awareness can lead to prevention, safer responses, and support for survivors.

Thank you to our TCAP representatives, Ofelia and June, for showing up every day for community advocacy.

1. Ofelia collaborated with Dess Perkins to educate CSUB administrators and staff on human trafficking and responsible reporting. This is part of an ongoing series through March.
2. Ofelia and June attended the Eyes Wide Shut Conference at BC with Dess Perkins, led two breakout sessions, and joined the panel discussion.
3. TCAP accepted the Human Trafficking Awareness Month proclamation with the Kern County Board of Supervisors, and Ofelia gave a speech at the Liberty Bell. Bakersfield, McFarland, and Arvin also proclaimed the month.
4. Ofelia presented at the Kern County Sheriff’s Office Headquarters for officers standards and training.
5. On January 27, Ofelia and June attended the Night of Truth film screening at the Fox Theatre at 5:00 PM.

The Tejon Indian Tribe Community Advocacy Program was invited by the Kern Coalition Against Human Trafficking to speak at the Kern County Board of Supervisors meeting to proclaim January as National Human Trafficking Prevention Month.

In Tribal and rural communities, risks often overlap, including poverty, housing instability, domestic violence, historical trauma, addiction, and limited access to services. These conditions can increase vulnerability to both human trafficking and the MMIP crisis, Missing and Murdered Indigenous People.

Trafficking and MMIP intersect because both rely on people being overlooked. When someone is not seen, not believed, or not reported missing quickly enough, harm can continue. That is why advocacy, awareness, and coordinated response matter.
