NUESTRA FAMILIA
La Nuestra Familia (NF) formed in the 1960’s by a group of Hispanic inmates who were tired of suffering abuse at the hands of the California Mexican Mafia. NF has a written constitution and an organized hierarchy that oversees Norteño gangs in the state of California. A large and structured criminal organization, NF is heavily active in drug sales, murder, and a host of other illicit activities.
The parent organization of Norteños, NF recruits its members largely from Norteño gangs; for this reason, NF members may display Norteño tattoos, specifically, the words North or Norte; the word “ene”(Spanish for N), and variations of the number 14. NF tattoos also include the letters NF for Nuestra Familia; the Huegla Bird to symbolize the United Farm Workers Association; Aztec themes; and a sombrero paired with a machete.

Norteño is an umbrella term that means Northerner or Northsider in English and references a gangster style specific to those who either follow or show loyalty to La Nuestra Familia (NF).
The identifier most commonly associated with Norteño gangs is the number 14, which functions as numeric representation of the letter N, or “ene” in Spanish, the 14th letter in the alphabet and an abbreviation for either NF or Norteño.
Norteños use variations of the number 14 to pay homage to the NF. The most common variations include: X4; XIV; and the Mayan symbol for 14.
Other common Norteño identifiers include but are not limited to: Norte; the North Star; the HueglaBird, which is the symbol of the United Farm Workers Association; area codes; gang set names; 4 dots; and Aztec themes.

The Fresno Bulldogs formed in Fresno, California, in the 1960’s. The Bulldogs are one of only a few Hispanic gangs in California that do not claim either Sureño or Norteño. The Bulldogs originated from the F14’s, also known as the F14 Bulldogs, a prison gang also independent of Sureños and Norteños.
The Bulldogs named themselves after the athletic teams of California State University at Fresno (CSUF). Like CSUF, the Bulldogs use the color red, and their primary identifier is CSFU’s mascot, the Bulldog. The Bulldogs, like Norteños, use the number 14; however, Bulldogs attach 14 to the letter F, resulting in F14, an abbreviation for Fresno 14. Other Bulldog identifiers include but are not limited to: BDS for Bulldogs; FBD for Fresno Bulldogs; a dog paw with 4 toes; 559, the Fresno area code; and Fresno.

The California Mexican Mafia (La EME) formed in the 1950’s by a group of Hispanic inmates and has since evolved into an international criminal enterprise that controls hundreds of Sureño gangs in California and across the nation.
The EME recruits many of its members from Sureño gangs; for this reason, EME members may wear traditional Sureño tattoos, specifically, the words SUR and Sureño, and variations of the number 13.Other EME tattoos include the letters MM for Mexican Mafia; EME, the Spanish word for M; and Emero.
The tattoo most widely associated with the EME is the Black Hand. The Black Hand is a privilege earned only after one is inducted into the elite ranks of the EME. A symbol synonymous with power, influence, and brutality, the Black Hand represents the exclusive membership of the EME, the most revered prison gang in the United States.
