The Hidden History of the Stonewall Mine and the Displacement of the Kumeyaay People

Long before the Stonewall Mine brought gold seekers to the Cuyamaca Mountains, the land was home to the Kumeyaay people, who lived in harmony with its forests, waters, and wildlife. But with the discovery of gold in the 1870s, everything changed. The rapid expansion of mining operations—including deforestation, water diversion, and settler encroachment—led to the forced removal and cultural erasure of local Kumeyaay communities.

While the mine thrived, the Indigenous people were pushed out, their villages destroyed, and their traditional lifeways disrupted.

This short video explores the lesser-known truth behind California’s gold rush legacy and how the Stonewall Mine contributed to the systemic displacement of native people in San Diego County.
