Malki Museum Hosts 46th Annual Fiesta

The Malki Museum presents it’s 46th Annual Fiesta on Sunday, May 30, 2010. The all day event includes honoring Native American veterans, arts and crafts, fry bread, bird songs, and dances.

Malki’s annual Fiesta is a time of gathering together to share culture and traditions. It is also the major fundraising event for the Museum. Each year hundreds of both natives and non-natives come to participate in this unique event which has been an annual celebration since 1966, when the Kewét (the Cahuilla word for fiesta) tradition was revived after 20 years.

The Morongo Reservation, on which Malki sits, is located in the beautiful San Gorgonio Pass between the towering peaks of Old Greyback and Mt. San Jacinto. The reservation is between Banning and Cabazon, just north of Interstate 10, and is about 20 miles west of Palm Springs. Take the Fields Road turnoff for a mile-and-a-half north of Interstate 10.
