On October 25th, 1995 Aqua Caliente sent a request letter to the Pala Band of Mission Indians asking for the blood quantum of Margarita Brittain. Stan McGarr, Pala's Tribal Secretary at the time, responded with a letter saying Margarita was 4/4 and her children were 1/2.
Here are the letters:
1995 Oct 25 Agua Caliente Request Letter for Margarita Brittain's Blood Quantum and Her Children
In 1903 the Agua Caleinte Cupeno were removed from their ancestral tribal home, the Village of Kupa also known as Warner's Hot Springs. The Cupeno were forced onto the Pala Indian Reservation. This is known as the Cupeno Trail of Tears. On June 1st, 2011 and February 1st, 2012 162 Warner Ranch Evictee Agua Caliente Cupeno were removed from the PBMI Association by the Pala Enrollment Committee. This is our Second Trail of Tears.
