history
Since time immemorial, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians inhabited and
governed some 2,000 square miles of ancestral land in the Palm Springs area. The
members 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 of
Indians “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, and
federal 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 economic
impacts on the Coachella Valley, stemming not only from the last 10 years of its casino
operations, 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.
