Talk:Cahuilla

Untitled

In 1905 a break in a levee created the much smaller Salton Sea in the same location.

I was under the impression that the Salton Sea was created when the Colorado River was diverted for the building of Boulder (now Hoover) Dam on the Nevada-Arizona border, not from a levee break. Does anybody know for sure?--Rockero 22:38, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Our article Salton Sea says that it was created when a dyke broke in 1905. Boulder Dam came decades later. -Willmcw 23:23, 5 December 2005 (UTC)there are only 8 people left of augustine band of cahuilla an only one person get money that is Marryann Green the chair person an none of her family gets none of the money not even a dime.

After the Great Diversion of the Colorado River and the newly formed Salton Sea, the US government was setting aside land for the displaced Native Americans and gave 10,000 acre plot of public land underneath the Salton Sea to The Torres-Martinez band of Cahuilla Indians. They expected the Sea to evaporate over time, but the agricultural growth in the area fed greater and greater amounts of drainage water back into the Sea, keeping the Cahuilla land burried under water to this day. The US government has still not made ammends with the Torres-Martinez band and they remain one of the poorest bands of Native Americans in the US.(Johnnymax8 (talk) 05:12, 10 April 2008 (UTC))

If there are any reliable source (newspapers, etc) on this topic it'd be well worth adding to the article. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 05:53, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Agua Caliente:the smallest federally-recognized tribe???

What's this?...what proof is there?...from what I read about a few years back, it's actually the Augustine that's the smallest, with only ONE person(a divorcee of pure Cahuilla ancestry with three adult children), and numerous non-Native relatives who help run the Augustine Casino in Thermal...please advise or provide proof...thanks...Michaela92399 (talk) 02:49, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

This article says that the Augustine is the smallest band. For proof/info, check out their article: Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians. Cheers, Uyvsdi (talk) 03:50, 25 June 2009 (UTC)Uyvsdi

The Agua Caliente band are either the richest or second wealthiest Native American tribe in the USA after the Osage Nation of Osage County, Oklahoma near Tulsa. Not much mentioned about Palm Springs' Section 14 in the 1940s-50s, a racially (mostly Black, Mexican and Cahuilla) segregated real estate tract right on the checkerboard-shaped Agua Caliente Indian Reservation which was demolished and bulldozed in the 1960s to make way for hotel resorts and commercial business properties. The local Cahuilla in Palm Springs play a huge influential role in the city, esp. land leases on Indian land have lengths of being rented for 99 years until it returns to the tribal jurisdiction. 2605:E000:FDCA:4200:24F3:157C:31F4:1568 (talk) 11:13, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
