В 1875 году группа Viejas разделила резервацию Capitan Grande вместе с группой Barona Capitan Grande Indians Indians , которая состояла из земель в современном водохранилище Эль -Капитан и около того . Водохранилище Эль -Капитан, принудимо приобретенное у двух племен, чтобы обеспечить воду для Сан -Диего , погрузилось на то, что жива существовала в резервации. Два племена совместно контролируют это резервирование. Это неразвита, но служит экологическим заповедником. [ 3 ]
The Viejas Reservation (32°51′01″N 116°41′33″W / 32.85028°N 116.69250°W), also known as the Baron Long Reservation, is a federal Indian reservation located in San Diego County, California, in the Cuyamaca Mountains near Alpine. After the band was displaced from Capitan Grande, this new reservation was created by executive order in 1934. The reservation is about 1,609 acres (6.51 km2) large. Approximately 289 of the 394 enrolled members live on the reservation.[5]
The reservation is home to scrub oaks and chaparral. The name "Viejas" comes from the Spanish name for their land, "El Valle de Las Viejas" or "The Valley of the Old Women."[3] In 1973, 121 of the 127 enrolled members lived on the reservation.[2]

[edit]The Viejas Band is headquartered in Alpine, California. They are governed by a democratically elected, seven-person tribal council, who serve two-year terms. Their current administration as of March 2021 is as follows:
- Chairman: John Christman
- Vice Chairman: Victor E. Woods
- Secretary: Rene Curo
- Treasurer: Samuel Q. Brown
- Councilmember: Adrian M. Brown
- Councilmember: Gabriel T. TeSam, Jr.
- Councilmember: Kevin M. Carrizosa[6]
Economic development
[edit]
The tribe owns and operates the Viejas Casino, Grove Steakhouse, Far East Winds, Mezz Deli, Daisy's Cafe, Harvest Buffet, V Lounge, DreamCatcher Lounge, and the 57-store Viejas Outlet Center. They also own the first Native American bank in California, Borrego Springs Bank, N.A., with branches in Alpine, Borrego Springs, and La Mesa. They own two recreational vehicle parks. Viejas Entertainment hosts concerts in a 1,500-seat outdoor arena and also promotes talent to casinos throughout the country.[7]
The tribe owns 50 percent of the Broadcast Company of the Americas, which operates a sports talk station, The Mighty 1090-AM in San Diego.[7]
Viejas partnered with the Forest County Potawatomi Community of Wisconsin, the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin, and the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians of California to create Four Fires, LLC, an economic development group. A similar project, Three Fires, LCC is shared between Viejas, and the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin and the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.[7]
The tribe paid San Diego State University $6 million for naming rights to the Viejas Arena.[8]
Events
[edit]Two major annual ceremonies on the reservation are the "Clearing of the Cemetery," when tribal members clean and pay their respects at the two tribal cemeteries, and Dia de las Animas or All Souls Day.[9]
