Our Involvement
The Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians is honored to be an active member of the Coachella Valley and Morongo Basin communities. As a sovereign tribal nation, we have been fortunate to build economic enterprises that sustain our government, support our members, and contribute to the well-being of our neighbors.
With a dedicated team of over 1,000 individuals, we take great pride in creating opportunities that strengthen the local economy. We believe in giving back and supporting organizations that focus on youth development, higher education, homelessness prevention, cultural preservation, and environmental stewardship.
As Chemehuevi people, we remain deeply committed to preserving our heritage while working toward a brighter future for all. Our efforts to support and uplift the broader community reflect the values of collaboration, generosity, and shared prosperity that guide us every day.
