Morongo Band of Mission Indians

The Morongo Band of Mission Indians will produce a book that documents the history of the Morongo Reservation through stories shared by elders. The cultural heritage coordinator will build on work begun last year to compile historical data and will work with a consultant to interview elders to capture their stories. The book will be an important resource to educate tribal youth about their culture and traditions and to teach others about the history of the Morongo people. The cultural heritage coordinator will also use conference attendance to gain skills that can help improve library services.
