A Chemehuevi Song

More about the book

Having survived much of the past two centuries without rights to their homeland or any self-governing abilities, the Chemehuevi were a mostly 'forgotten' people until the creation of the Twenty-Nine Palms Reservation in 1974. Since then, they have formed a tribal government that addresses many of the same challenges faced by other tribes, including preserving cultural identity and managing a thriving gaming industry.
