Norteños (Spanish: [noɾˈteɲos] meaning Northerners; Norteñas for females) are the various, affiliated gangs that pay tribute to Nuestra Familia while in California state and federal correctional facilities.[4] Norteños may refer to Northern California as Norte Califas. Their biggest rivals are the Sureños from Southern California.[5][6] The statewide north–south dividing line between Norteños and Sureños has roughly been accepted as Bakersfield, California.[6][7] The gang's membership consists primarily of Mexican Americans.
A Norteño derogatorily refers to a Sureño as a "scrap" (Hispanicized scrapa) or "Sur rat" (south rat). Norteños also use images of the Mexican American labor movement, such as the sombrero, machete, and the logo of the United Farm Workers which is a stylized black Aztec eagle ("Huelga bird").[13]
