Abstract
This well-researched paper details the cultures and history of two Indian tribes that have historically inhabited the Mohave Desert in California. This paper contains in-depth research into the social organization, economy, customs and religion of the Mohave and Chemehuevi tribes. In 1776 the Chemehuevi Indians began to migrate from Nevada, Utah and Arizona to California due to conflicts with the Yuman Indians, who were living in the area next to theirs. A 1604 expedition in search of silver led New Mexico governor Don Juan Onate through Mohaves territory, but it was not until 1775 that Fray Francisco Garces became the first white man to meet the Mohaves.

From the Paper
"These reservations are administered by different sovereign tribal governments under two separate legal jurisdictions. These governments were created and recognized by the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, and the tribal-council form of government that was adopted at the time does not separate the functions of the administration, the legislature, and the judiciary. However, both governments operate civil and criminal courts that protect and assert their legal jurisdiction on the reservations over their own members. Mohave tribal identity in both reservation communities remains strong, although the pattern of intermarriage with other tribes that began in the early 1900s and a trend toward intermarriage with other races that began in the 1960s continue to challenge and change individual concepts of identity as well as the community's sense of itself."

From the Paper
"The American Indian tribes are the original immigrants of the continent of America. In fact, the people of these tribes are of old Eastern origin, believed to be descendants of the Mongloid race in Asia. Over a period of thousands of years, these tribes gradually populated the unoccupied Western Hemisphere, from the Bering Strait to the southern most tip of South America, and from coast to coast. These first settlers were not savages and, in fact, possessed ancient knowledge about the laws of the universe and nature. They developed varying types of social organization and mechanisms, which satisfied their choice of environment and preferred manner of living, in harmony with nature (Dutton 1983: xix-xx). It is the objective of this paper to discuss the history, customs, and social organization, both past and present, of two of the American Indian tribes that settled in the West, namely, the Mohave and the Chemehuevi."
