Agua Caliente Unveils new book by Lowell John Bean

For more info visit: aguacaliente-nsn.gov

From the early research days of the 1980s to the span of nearly two decades, From Time Immemorial, The Traditional Ways and History of the Members of the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation is now available to the public. An expansive look into the history of both the Agua Caliente Tribe and the city of Palm Springs from the preeminent scholar on the Cahuilla Indians.

This extensive look into the traditional ways and history of the Agua Caliente people is presented by the lifelong research Author Lowell John Bean.

From Time Immemorial, The Traditional Ways and History of the Members of the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation, is available now with a cover price of $45 at Agua Caliente Casinos, Indian Canyons Golf Resort and the Indian Canyons Trading Post.

About The Author
Lowell J. Bean, Ph.D., is an anthropologist, scholar, and ethnohistorian who has studied the culture of the Cahuilla Indians of the Palm Springs region, as well as other tribes throughout California and Arizona, for more than 50 years. Bean grew up in the small farming town of St. James, Minnesota. After serving as a Marine in the Korean War, he enrolled as a student of anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles. His fieldwork led him to the Morongo Indian Reservation, where he was first introduced to the world of the Cahuilla. Bean's observations and research during that time inspired his life's work. He went on to teach at California State University Hayward, where he remains professor emeritus of anthropology, and also helped establish the Malki Museum, alongside tribal leaders Jane Penn and Katherine Saubel. He has written several books and papers on the Cahuilla Indians and has received thanks and recognition from many in the Native community, including former Agua Caliente Tribal Chairman Richard M. Milanovich, for his seminal role in the study and sharing of Cahuilla culture and history.
