  • 4.5 Cultural Resources
    4.5 – Cultural Resources 4.5 Cultural Resources This section identifies cultural and paleontological resources along the IC Project Alignment, identifies applicable significance thresholds, assesses the IC Project’s impacts to these resources and their significance, and recommends measures to avoid or substantially reduce any effects found to be potentially significant. Cultural resources are defined as any object or specific location of past human activity, occupation, or use that is identifiable through historical documentation, inventory, or oral evidence. Cultural resources can be separated into three categories: archaeological, building/structural, and traditional resources. Archaeological resources include prehistoric and historic remains of human activity. Prehistoric resources can be composed of lithic scatters, ceramic scatters, quarries, habitation sites, temporary camps/rock rings, ceremonial sites, and trails. Historic-era resources are typically those that are 50 years or older. Historic archaeological resources can consist of structural remains (e.g., concrete foundations), historic objects (e.g., bottles and cans), features (e.g., refuse deposits or scatters), and sites (e.g., resources that contain one or more of the aforementioned categories). Built environment resources range from historic buildings to canals, historic roads and trails, bridges, ditches, cemeteries, and electrical infrastructure, such as transmission lines, substations, and generating facilities. A traditional cultural resource is a resource associated with the cultural practices, traditions, beliefs, lifeways, arts, crafts, or social institutions of a living community. They are rooted in a traditional community’s history and are important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the community. See Section 4.18, Tribal Cultural Resources, for a discussion on cultural resources of potential importance to California Native American tribes.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Proclamation 9396—Establishment of the Sand to Snow National Monument February 12, 2016
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Proclamation 9396—Establishment of the Sand to Snow National Monument February 12, 2016 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The Sand to Snow area of southern California is an ecological and cultural treasure, a microcosm of the great geographic diversity of the region. Rising from the floor of the Sonoran Desert to the tallest peak in southern California, the area features a remarkable diversity of plant and animal species. The area includes a portion of the San Bernardino National Forest and connects this area with Joshua Tree National Park to the east, knitting together a mosaic of spectacular landscapes stretching over 200 miles. The mountain peaks of the Sand to Snow area frame the northeastern reach of Coachella Valley along with the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument to the south. Home to desert oases at Big Morongo Canyon and Whitewater Canyon, the area serves as a refuge for desert dwelling animals and a stopover for migrating birds. The archaeological riches of the Black Lava Buttes and the historical remains of mining and ranching communities tell of past prosperity and struggle in this arid land. The unbroken expanse is an invaluable treasure for our Nation and will continue to serve as an irreplaceable resource for archaeologists, geologists, and biologists for generations to come. The Sand to Snow area encompasses a rich diversity of geological and ecological resources, including a nearly 10,000-foot elevation gradient from the Sonoran Desert floor to the top of the 11,500-foot San Gorgonio Mountain, the highest mountain in southern California.

Over millennia, native people obtained knowledge both practical and esoteric, necessitated by survival in a land of extremes and accumulated by active minds recording how nature worked. Such knowledge became tradition when passed across generations, allowing cul- tural adjustments to the changing environment. The depth and breadth of their under- standing can only be glimpsed or imagined, but should never be minimized. Indians lived within deserts, were born, fed, and raised on them, su¤ered the extremes and uncertainties, and passed into the ancient, stony soils. Theirs was a discovery so intimate and spiritual, so singular, that we can only commemorate it with our own 10,000-year-long rediscov- ery of this place and all of its remarkable inhabitants. Our rediscovery has only begun. Our rediscovery is not based upon living in the deserts, despite a current human pop- ulation of over one million who dwelling east of the Sierra.

The historic 200-acre pre-1769 Cupeno Indian village site is now abandoned, but there remains 1769-1848 evidence of its historical importance. A number of recently abandoned 1849-1879 residences above the old village do not disturb the site itself. Settling 1880-1904 ponds and swimming pools constructed on Agua Caliente Creek at the 1905-1933 old resort are now in a state of disrepair . The beautiful valley of Agua 1934-1964 Caliente in which the village was situated lies at an altitude of 3,000 1965-1980 feet, and is home for many kinds of wildlife, native shrubs, grass, and evergreen oak trees . 1-listoric Sites The Cupeno Indians were already living at Cupa before the Spanish Selected References arrived in California in the 1700s . They continued to reside at Agua Caliente after the American occupation of California in 1847-48 . Once the Americans arrived, however, Antonio Garra, a Cupeno from Warners Ranch, attempted to organize a coalition of various Southern California Indian tribes to drive out all of the Whites . The attempt failed, Garra was executed, and Cupa, the village at Warner Springs, was burned. Although Cupa was on Indian land, Juan Jose Warner, a naturalized Mexican citizen, received the land in a grant from the Mexican Government on November 28, 1844 .
