The Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians

The Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians has received a grant from the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) funded through the Tribal Heritage Grant program, Historic Preservation Fund. The grant is for the survey and inventory of Adobe and Wámkish sites, which are the tribe’s cultural areas on the Rincon Indian Reservation.  

“This funding will allow us to assess and evaluate cultural sites for listing eligibility on the National Register of Historic Places,” stated Chairman Bo Mazzetti of the Rincon Tribe.  “It is our responsibility as a people to protect and preserve the history and culture for our future generations. “

With these funds, organizations and agencies conserve significant U.S. cultural and historic resources, which illustrate, interpret, and are associated with the great events, ideas, and individuals that contribute to our nation’s history and culture.

“It is so important as tribes move forward, that they preserve the past,” stated Councilmember Laurie Gonzalez of the Rincon Tribe.  “This grant gives us the ability to protect our sites so that we may link our future generations to the past generations and give them a real and deep appreciation of where we started, and how far we’ve come.”
