Paxauxa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paxauxa was a shared Tongva and Payómkawichum village site located at what is now Corona, California along Temescal Creek.[1][2] Villagers may have appeared in baptismal records at Mission San Juan Capistrano as being from the village Axaxa. Nearby villages included Poruumanga and Shiishongna.[2] It is sometimes alternatively spelled Pakhavka.[3]
The village name may have been derived from the Tongva language word Axawknga, roughly translated to "in the net."[3]
