| Cabazon Reservation Ethnology-Language: Cahuilla Established: 1876 County: Riverside Acreage: 1,706 Population: 38 Location: Seven miles from the community of Indio and eighteen miles from the city of Palm Springs. Cabazon could be characterized as one of a few "urban reservations" in California, along with Agua Caliente. This tribe was the first tribe in the state to establish high-stakes bingo in California - resulting in the "Cabazon decision" in 1987 which paved the way for Indian gaming in the state. Library: Cabazon has a nice Cabazon Cultural Museum that is directed by Cultural Programs Manager, Judy Stapp. The "library" at Cabazon consists of bookcases lining walls of the tribal conference room, mostly law books and code books, materials to assist the tribe in business and sovereignty issues. |
