La Jolla Band of Luiseno Indians

The La Jolla Indian Reservation was established by Executive Order of the President of the United States, Mr. Ulysses S. Grant, on December 27, 1875. However, The Payómkawichum (Luiseño People) have always been here in this area. The Southern California area is where our Creation Story takes place. The La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians is one of six federally recognized Luiseño Tribes in Southern California.
