History The hot springs where the Spa Hotel now stands was used for bathing and curative purposes for as long as the Indians can remember and was opened to the public as a bathhouse in 1870. Today's streamlined Spa has two forerunners. The first was a primitive, rough-planked shack. Years later, the second one was a low-lying structure of "primitive bathing cubicles." In their place stands the beautiful combination Spa and Hotel. The same springs bubble from that spot today with luxurious embellishments which rival the Roman baths of old and the outstanding spas throughout the world. The Spa Hotel lease was the first long-term (99 year) lease to be executed by the Tribe after enactment of an amendment to Public Law 86-326 in 1959. Since that time, individuals are entering into long-term leases and the Indian-owned property is gradually being improved with commercial developments. If they prefer, the individual Indian may apply for a fee patent to sell his property rather than lease it. The Indians of Palm Springs, like those in other areas of the United States, considered the land of their ancestors as their own property. Therefore, it was difficult for them to accept the purchase of railroad land by others, and the diversion of water from the creeks to serve other purposes than their own. Certain early settlers, revered by many, were not blameless in their treatment of the Indians. There were hardships and antagonisms; however, as the years passed, their financial difficulties were lessened. Some 6,700 acres, nearly 10.5 square miles, of the Reservation's present acreage lie within the Palm Springs city limits. The remaining sections fan out across the desert in a checkerboard pattern, south and east of the city, and even mount the sheer slopes of the San Jacinto Mountains on the west. Today, this band of more than 300 Tribal members represents Palm Springs' largest single landowner in this popular and growing resort area.
