    29 Context: Native American Settlement to 1969 Francisco Patencio outside the roundhouse, c. 1940. Source: Palm Springs Historical Society. FINAL DRAFT – FOR CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL City of Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement & Survey Findings HISTORIC RESOURCES GROUP 30 CONTEXT: NATIVE AMERICAN SETTLEMENT TO 196923 The earliest inhabitants of the Coachella Valley are the Native people known ethnohistorically as the Cahuilla Indians. The Cahuilla territory includes the areas from the San Jacinto Mountains, the San Gorgonia Pass, and the desert regions reaching east to the Colorado River. The Cahuilla language is part of the Takic branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family and all the Cahuilla groups speak a mutually intelligible despite different dialects. The Cahuilla group that inhabited the Palm Springs area are known as the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. The Cahuilla name for the area that is now Palm Springs is Sec-he, “boiling water,” named for the hot springs located in what is currently the center of the Palm Springs business district. The springs have always provided clean water, bathing, and a connection to the spiritual world, and were used for ceremonial and healing purposes.24 The Cahuilla people refer to themselves as ‘ivi’lyu’atum and are ethnographically divided into two patrilineal moieties: the Wildcats and the Coyotes. Each moiety was further divided into clans which are made up of lineages. Lineages had their own territory and hunting rights within a larger clan territory. There are a number of lineages in the Palm Springs area, which each have religious and political autonomy. Prior to European contact, Cahuilla communities established summer settlements in the palm-lined mountain canyons around the Coachella valley; oral histories and archaeological evidence indicates that they settled in the Tahquitz Canyon at least 5,000 years ago.25 The Cahuilla moved each winter to thatched shelters clustered around the natural mineral hot springs on the valley floor.

    By CORNELIUS COLE SMITH Riverside, California 1 must go now to the places where the sunset Throws shadows on the high red walls of rock. Where starlight falls upon those silent hills. And sun and moon are calendar and clock. I will see the giant cactus spear a passing cloud, And rift its fleecy vapor into shreds. And catch the glint of copper-rock and moonstones From their place in empty river beds. I will walk into some long forgotten town. See lizards run beneath the stones when I draw near. And close my eyes to see a cavalcade of things. Pueblo Bonita Ruins in Chaco Canyon. Photo courtesy Charles S. Webber. That vanished in some ageless bygone year. WESTERN EYES THE DESERT By PHYLLIS W.

  • February 1956
    By EVA L. ROBINSON Los Angeles, California It's true that winter's on the wane, For daylight hours are showing gain. If drab and dry the desert lies Beneath the cold and cloudless skies. I do not moan, for this I know— The desert will awake and glow As wave on wave of colors flow— If there is rain. I love the desert's calm repose In garb of gray and mauve and rose— Its tinted dawn—its sunset skies— Its silent mountain peaks that rise Like sentinels to guard the plain. From all that hunger to obtain Possession of the vast domain— If there is rain. We lift our eyes and pray there will Fall blessings from the skies until The dormant life without a sound, Springs up in legions from the ground. Buds will appear mysteriously, To bloom in grace and purity, Where there is none but God to see— If there is rain. • • • UNTOUCHABLE By GRACE BARKER WILSON Kirtland, New Mexico The tawny, untamed desert stretches on In sandy dryness of unnumbered years. No civilizing thing yet interferes As endless time is marked from dawn to dawn. No point of conquering plow yet penetrates The wastes that lie around the stony peaks In desolation. There the redman ekes A meager living as he concentrates His energy upon a flock of sheep That draw scant strength from scattered wisps of grass. Unchanged, unchanging as the decades pass. The frontier stops, and progress is asleep. BRIGAND By VADA F. CARLSON Winslow, Arizona The chaparral cock—droll desert cuckoo!— Mariposa Lily.
