The Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians is a federally recognized Native American tribe located in Southern California. Descendants of the Chemehuevi people, they settled at the sacred site known as the Oasis of Mara near Twentynine Palms, California. Today, the tribe operates business enterprises and governmental operations on its sovereign lands, including Spotlight 29 Casino and Tortoise Rock Casino, providing employment to over 700 people and contributing to the community through charitable contributions.
The tribe's Tribal Administration manages all tribal affairs and general welfare programs, while the Tribal Council serves as the elected governing body overseeing governmental operations and business enterprises. With a strong relationship with the California Desert, the tribe sponsors and partners with entities to promote land conservation and protection of sacred lands, supporting descendants of the Chemehuevi, Desert Cahuilla, and Southern Paiute lineages in California and beyond.
