The Cahuilla are a Native American tribe primarily located in Southern California, particularly in the Coachella Valley and surrounding areas. They traditionally lived in desert and mountainous regions, relying on local resources for food, such as acorns, seeds, and small game. The Cahuilla people have a rich cultural heritage, including unique languages and traditional practices. Historically, the Cahuilla were organized into several bands, each with its own territory and leadership. They engaged in trade with neighboring tribes and developed a deep connection to their land. Today, many Cahuilla descendants continue to preserve their cultural identity and traditions while participating in modern society.
