Website Summary: ramona-nsn.gov

Established in 1893, the Ramona Band of Cahuilla is a federally-recognized Tribe situated in Anza, California, approximately ninety miles northeast of San Diego. On behalf of the Ramona Band of Cahuilla, we welcome you to our Tribal website. This off-grid center has functioned as a case study for the Tribe on how economic development can be initiated in an environmentally sustainable manner on rural Tribal lands. Lastly, the Tribe routinely outreaches to the surrounding community vis-à-vis participation in local interest groups, hosting of Earth Day events, and development of a community park for local Tribal members. The Tribe’s Environmental Department helps to oversee a broad range of initiatives on the Reservation, including water quality sampling, renewable energy development, land assessment, erosion control, wildlife assessments, as well as community outreach. Projects undertaken by the Ramona Band often foster land stewardship, environmental protection, and community engagement.
