We are Cupeno. We were forcibly removed by the U.S. Government in 1903 from our village at Kupa which is known today as Warner's Hot Springs. The U.S. Government bought land for us adjacent to the Pala Luiseno Reservation (Old Pala) in an attempt to replace what we have lost. They called us Warner Ranch Evictees.
For too long the Cupeno have pushed around. It is time for the Cupeno to stand up and be proud of who they are once again. It is time we stop the Executive Committee of PBMI from continually pushing us around, evicting us, stripping us of our rights, and trying to destroy who we are as a people.
HAPPY VETERANS DAY - YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE - YOU MAKE US PROUD
