		His observation of the similarity in the pottery of the Quechans, Mohaves and Chemehuevis was as much the result of the Mohave trading their wares with neighbouring groups, as the Chemehuevis producing their own pottery and being substantially influenced by their neighbours' craftwork.
		It is coiled clockwise, a peculiar characteristic of Chemehuevi basketry, as are the three willow rods constituting the foundation of the coils, which are wrapped with light-coloured willow (Salix).
		The Chemehuevis distinguished two species of willow, both of which were probably used for their basketry, and which they called sagah and kanavi.

	AN EXTREME AND SOLEMN RELATIONSHIP \| Philip M. Klasky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		A minority of Mohaves and Chemehuevis speak their traditional language and practice native religion, however there is a resurgence of interest on the reservations in traditional culture as a source of identity and social cohesion (Cornelius 1996; Lopez 1996).
		The decision of the ICC to limit Mohave and Chemehuevi claims, despite the testimony of the claimants and the contradictory testimony of the anthropologists, illustrates the fact that land ownership is ultimately determined by those who dominate the political process.
		The Mohaves and Chemehuevis claim that Ward Valley is part of their aboriginal territory and that the protection of the landscape, the flora and fauna (and specifically the desert tortoise) is essential to the integrity of their culture and religion.

		In addition to confirming substantial water rights for the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe, the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe, the Colorado River Indian Tribes, the Quechan Indian Tribe and the Cocopah Indian Community, the court's decision brought into sharp focus the importance of tribal reserved water rights in the West.

	History of the Site
		The Chemehuevi would also roast pinon cones in order to eat the nuts which were inside the hard shell.
		If, however, the petroglyphs were created in the early 1500’s, then it is a possibility that the Chemehuevi came to California earlier than the recorded 1770’s.
		Another possibility is that the Chemehuevi did not actually draw the petroglyphs, but, rather, used them for their own ceremonies.

	Nelson, Manookin, and Elzinga: A Chemehuevi Lexicon
		Chemehuevi is a Uto-Aztecan language closely related to Southern Paiute, which is well-known from the descriptive work of Edward Sapir (Sapir 1930a, b; 1931), and more distantly related to languages such as Shoshoni (Crum and Dayley 1993, 1997; Crum, Crum, and Dayley 2001; Miller 1972, 1996).
		The project was designed to satisfy two goals: (1) provide the Chemehuevi community on-line access to a dictionary of their language and (2) store such a dictionary in an open exchange format (XML) capable of export to various other formats (such as other XML formats, HTML, etc.).
		This program is currently to the Excel lexicon structure of the Chemehuevi database, but is intended to eventually be a more general application for Excel to XML conversions, where the user may specify field headings and element names.

		The Chemehuevi often stored food, after drying or cooking it, in granaries or ceramic jars at their homes, or, on trips through the desert, by burying it in the ground or putting it in caves in pots or baskets.
		According to Isabel Kelly's consultants, the Chemehuevis split from the Southern Paiutes in the Las Vegas area before the early 19th century, and moved toward what is now the Chemehuevi Valley and the area south of it on the Colorado River (Fowler and Fowler 1971:105; Kelly 1934).
		The Chemehuevi at Twentynine Palms for many years were never mentioned in the reports of agents sent out by the United States government to visit the Indians of southern California, since they lived in an area between the routes usually used for travel and trade.

		The two test samples taken from the river were sent to an EPA certified laboratory for analysis and confirmed the results at 6.8 ppb of Perchlorate.
		In 1997, the Chemehuevi Tribe passed an Ordinance regarding the discharge of any contaminants into any river, steam or waterway within the exterior boundary of the reservation.

		The chairman of the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe also said he opposes a separate effort to build twin side-by-side casinos 120 miles from the Nevada border because it would set a bad precedent.
		Chemehuevi Chairman Charles Wood added that the tribe is opposed to "reservation shopping," a term used to describe Indian tribes seeking approval to open casinos on land away from their reservations.
		The Chemehuevi tribe has a municipal services agreement with the city of Barstow, signed last year, in which it would pay fees to the community in lieu of taxes on the casino's gaming revenue.

		Owing to the fact that the great majority of the Paiute are not on reservations, many of them being attached to the ranches of white men, it is impossible to determine their population, but they may be safely estimated at from 6,500 to 7,000.
		Probably the first reference to the Chemehuevi is that by fray Francisco Garces, who passed through their country in journeying from the Yuma to the Mohave, and again from lower Kern river to the latter tribe on his way to the pueblo of Oraibi in northeastern Arizona in 1775–76.
		Nowhere does it appear that the Arizona Indians believed in rewards and punishment after death; to all, the future state was an improvement on this life.

		Thereafter it was occupied by the Chemehuevi, who, since they were a broad-ranging people, may have occupied the oasis alternately with the Serrano in some periods until all the Serrano had left and Chemehuevi moved in, especially after the Chemehuevi war with the Mojave in the late 1860s.
		Mojave and Chemehuevi use of the park in traditional times was probably seasonal and transitory, as was the use of areas of the park in areas distant from the oasis at Mara.
