The Mojave Project strives to acknowledge and illuminate the histories and stories of Indigenous people of the Mojave Desert—the Chemehuevi, Mojave, Serrano, Southern Paiute, Timbisha Shoshone and Western Shoshone—all who continue to occupy and persist throughout this arid region today. We do so in direct consultation with tribal elders and culture bearers from their respective communities. Click here to learn about Indigenous acknowledgment & the lands you occupy. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this website do not necessarily represent those of California Humanities or the National Endowment for the Humanities.
