Since time immemorial, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians inhabited andgoverned some 2,000 square miles of ancestral land in the Palm Springs area. Themembers lived in several well-established communities in the surrounding canyons,mountains and desert floor.
The Cahuilla called the Palm Springs area “Se-khi” or “boiling water” after the land’s hot mineral springs. In 1772, Spanish Conquistadors arrived, naming this Cahuilla Band ofIndians “Agua Caliente” after the same “hot water” or mineral springs.
Years later, the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad would leave an indelible mark on the Agua Caliente as a people and shape their future. In the 1860s, the Federal Government gave all the odd-numbered sections of land in the Coachella Valley to the railroad. Thus,in 1876, when President U.S. Grant established the present Agua Caliente Indian Reservation by Executive Order, only the even-numbered sections were still available. This created the Reservation’s “checkerboard” pattern.
To encourage economic development, the Federal Government allocated the bulk of the Reservation land to the individual members of the Tribe in a process called “allotment” that lasted until 1959. In the same year, and for the same purpose, Congress authorized only this Tribe and its members to lease their land for up to 99 years.
Much of Palm Springs and adjacent Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage and unincorporated Riverside County is built on such land allotted to individual Tribal members and leased to developers in this way. However, under the Tribe’s Constitution, adopted in 1955, andfederal law, the Tribe maintains primary control over the use and development of all land on its reservation, including those parcels included in cities located on the Reservation.
The activities of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians have multiple economicimpacts on the Coachella Valley, stemming not only from the last 10 years of its casinooperations, but also the extensive holdings remaining in the Tribe’s historic land base,underlying much of what is now the Cities of Palm Springs and Cathedral City, and portions of the City of Rancho Mirage and Riverside County.
Today, much of the Tribe’s original Reservation of 31,500 acres has been highly developed into a modern desert tourism center, plus extensive upscale retail and residential uses. The Reservation includes billions of dollars worth of valuable real estate as well as critical desert and mountain habitat.
