ACBCI AB 52 CONSULT REQUEST 2019-12-09Dear Ms. Nicole Sauviat Criste,
The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI) appreciates your efforts to include the
Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) in the Wave at Coral Mountain project. The project
area is not located within the boundaries of the ACBCI Reservation. However, it is within the
Tribe’s Traditional Use Area. A records check of the ACBCI registry identified previous surveys
in the area that were positive for the presence of cultural resources. In consultation, the ACBCI
THPO requests the following:
