Welcome to Morongo
The Morongo Band of Mission Indians is a sovereign tribal government serving the Morongo Indian Reservation beneath the San Gorgonio Mountains—building a strong future through self-determination while honoring and preserving our traditions.
Sovereignty in Service
Morongo provides essential services through an independent tribal government. Tribal Members elect a seven-member Tribal Council, and the Tribe is organized across 17 government departments supporting the community and reservation services
Resilience Rooted in Place
Located within traditional Cahuilla territory, Morongo’s reservation history dates to its establishment in 1865. Through perseverance across generations, Morongo has advanced as a model of self-reliance and self-determination while preserving the traditions of its past.
Giving Back
Central to Morongo’s values is supporting those in need and strengthening local communities. Through Community Outreach, Morongo has provided more than $5 million over the past five years to nonprofits serving the region and Southern California.
Serving Today,
Building Tomorrow
Morongo is dedicated to the wellbeing of Tribal Members by promoting economic vitality, preserving reservation and culture, and protecting sovereignty—working across governments in pursuit of self-determination.
