Los Coyotes Indian Reservation

It was set aside in 1889. Los Coyotes Reservation is located in San Diego County. It covers around 25,000 acres. It's location is in California's beautiful Little Rockies (San Diego Mountains) Mountain Range, where snow falls during winter months. Los Coyotes is a poor Reservation which supposedly did not have electricity until 1998. This Reservation is really a part of a much larger Reservation created on January 5 and January 7 of 1852. It continues to be legitimate. Unlike other Indians living throughout their vast Reservation, these Cahuilla and Cupeno People of Los Coyotes, hid in rugged mountains to avoid relocation. They definitely did not want to relocate to Little Shell Valley (aka Coachella Valley). These folks are mountain folks. If they had agreed to relocate, they'd had been relocated to Little Shell Valley. At their nations southeast, they get a good view of Salton Sea. There are several locations for villages including at over 6,000 feet above sea level. Their mountains are forested. Garcia Cubas listed Cahuilla and Cupeno People as Mexican-Opata who are now known as Uto-Aztecan. He classified their language as Comanche-Shoshone or Shoshonean which is Ojibway. According to 2010's census, there are 98 people living at Los Coyotes Indian Reservation. Indians make up 72 of this Reservations population. Mexicans make up 8. Whites make up 23. Some of those whites live where Banning Road including Tekvic and Tekwal Roads are. There are 34 housing units at LCR. However, using google earth i counted around 70 housing units. LCR has an average household size of 3.0 persons per household which means their population is closer to 180 to 210. Most of their population lives along Camino St. Ignacio Road and Hot Springs Mountain Road. They have to establish new towns higher up in elevation along Camino St. Ignacio Road, up to Qawish Road and where Borrego Palm Canyon Road is and even almost adjacent to Hot Springs Mountain which has an elevation of 6,533 feet above sea level. Of course, they need financial support to expand. Many Indian Reservations have much wealth and will be very willing to financially help. Don't allow those areas to become campgrounds for non Indians. That's a no, no. You have to take care of yourselves. That means use your land for yourselves. Don't use it to lure whites in. You know from history what happens. They come in, you go out. You learn from mistakes. Defend your land. Don't advertise it.
