THE INDIAN CULTURAL ADVENTURE
Take a fascinating look into the lives of the Cahuilla Indians as you learn about the customs, ceremonies, and everyday lives of these hunter/gatherers. Your adventure begins in a natural palm oasis where you will learn why the Cahuilla chose to live on the San Andreas Fault and how they survived in the harsh desert environment. Next, you will visit a registered archeological site of the ancient Cahuilla village of Palteewet, which has been recreated with historically accurate detail. Tour the village and see a depiction of the water manipulation practiced by the tribe, examples of fish traps and dead-fall traps [used for hunting small animals], and authentic metates [grinding stones]. A ceremonial house and kishes [huts] filled with Indian artifacts and interpretive displays showcase the foods, weapons, and tools of the Cahuilla. Learn about archeology as you participate in the Palteewet Archeological Dig. Then journey through amazing steep-walled canyons to see Petroglyphs [rock art], a hunting blind, and more!
