Native American Tribe series.Cahuilla
Uto-Aztecan peoples who arrived in southern California about 2,000-2,500 years ago. They originally ranged over the entire San Bernardino Basin, the San Jacinto Mountains, the Coachella Valley, and portions of the southern Mojave Desert. Living in independent clans of approximately 600-800 people, each clan controlled their own separate territories. These peaceful hunter-gatherers used throwing sticks, clubs, nets, spring-poled snares, and often poison-tipped arrows to provide game for their clans. The tribe did not encounter Europeans until 1774, when Spanish explorer, Juan Bautista de Anza was looking for a trade route between Mexico and California. Living far inland, the Cahuilla had little contact with Spanish soldiers or priests, nor missionaries. During the Mexican-American War, the Cahuilla join the Californios, and in the treaty to end the war, the government promised to recognize Native American rights to inhabit certain lands. However, white settlement on Indian lands became an increasing problem after the US annexed California, especially after gold was discovered. When the California Senate refused to ratify an 1852 treaty granting the Cahuilla control of their lands, tribal leaders resorted to attacks on approaching settlers and soldiers. In the end, the U.S. government subdivided their lands into reservations in 1877. Today there are nine Southern California reservations that are acknowledged homes to bands of Cahuilla people. These are located in Imperial, Riverside and San Diego Counties.

03/23/2018 By LostinDenver That's a big cache! On March 20, 2018, I headed out to the eastern plains to grab as many caches as possible. Sorry it took so long to log them. I have a goal of reaching 3,000 caches by my first geocaching anniversary on April 2. My journey started at 7:30 a.m., and ended with a string of FTF’s near Agate, Colorado. I saw a variety of wildlife during my journey; several hawks, prairie dogs, I think a bald eagle, cranes, ducks, geese, and even a bear! The bear was at the Wildlife Sanctuary. Sadly, I also saw the changing times; many abandoned farmhouses and oil pipeline installation everywhere. Thank you to all the cachers who placed these containers and have the fortitude to maintain them. This one was in great shape. TFTC!
