Kawia Indian Tribe History

Kawia. The name, of uncertain derivation, of a Shoshonean division in southern California, affiliated linguistically with the Aguas Calientes, Juaneños, and Luiseños. They inhabit the north tongue of the Colorado desert from Banning south east at least as far as Salton, as also the headwaters of Santa Margarita river, where the Kawia Reservation is situated. Formerly they are said to have extended into San Bernardino valley, but it seems more likely that this was occupied, as at present, by the Serranos. They are not to be confounded with a Yokuts tribe bearing the same name. They were first visited in 1776 by Fray Francisco Garcés, who referred to them under their Mohave name, "Jecuich," obtained from his guide. At this time they lived about the north slopes of the San Jacinto Mouintains and to the northward, and roamed east to the Colorado, but their principal seat was about San Gorgonio pass. Burton (H. R. Ex. Doc. 76, 34th Cong., 3d sess., 115,1857) gave 3,500 as the number of men alone in 1856, evidently an exaggeration. There were 793 Indians assembled under the name "Coahuila" at all the Mission reservations in 1885, while the Indians on Cahuilla Reservation under the Mission Tule river agency in 1894 numbered 151, and in 1902, 159. This reservation consists of 18,240 acres of unpatented land. Villages: Duasno, Juan Bautista, Kavinish, Kawia, Kwaleki, Lawilvan, Malki, Pachawal, Palseta, Paltewat, Panachsa, San Sebastian, Sechi, Sokut Menyil, Temalwahish, Torres, Tova, and Wewutnowhu.
