Miyaxwen! I am a member of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI) from Palm Springs, CA. I am a PhD Candidate in AIS: Federal Indian Law & Policy. I also serve as Chairwoman of the Historic Preservation Advisory Board (HPAB) created by ACBCI’s Tribal Historic Preservation Officer to help make recommendations on cultural issues at our traditional sites. My interests are in protecting and preserving cultural resources and landscapes, as well as learning and revitalizing the tribe’s cultural heritage.
