Juyubit (also, Jujubit) was one of the largest villages[1] of the Tongva people.

It was one of the largest villages in Tovaangar.[2] Alternate names of the village include: Jujubit, Jutucubit, Jutucuvit, Jutubit, Jutucunga, Utucubit, Otocubit, Uchubit, Ychubit, and Uchunga.[3]

Colonization

Records from the San Fernando and San Gabriel missions record 347 baptisms from Juyubit between 1774 and 1804. However, because of incorrect and/or inaccurate village naming records, more Juyubit villagers may have been baptized at these missions.[4] Villagers from involved in the 1785 revolt on Mission San Gabriel led by Toypurina, a medicine woman from the village of Jaichivit.[5]

One woman from Juyubit, Eulalia María, was baptized at the age of six and became a godmother as an adult. She died in 1818.[6]

By 1840, much of Juyubit's population was absorbed into Missions San Juan Capistrano and San Gabriel.[7]

Legacy

Versions of Juyubit are mentioned in the narrative legend of the late 18th—early 19th century Tongvan heroine Toypurina.
