Guajes refers to an inedible gourd, used to make household objects about 13,000 BC including the Mexican Jicara, a cup for drinking, used by Native Americans who are indigenous to the Coachella Valley.

Los Guajes at Whittier Ranch is situated on the former Whittier Ranch which was a Citrus Ranch. 100’s of acres of Citrus Trees when it was a working farm. The Whittier Family, who founded Whittier, California owned Whittier Ranch. The former Ranch house is located on the corner of Jackson and Avenue 48. General George C. Patton stayed in the Ranch House with his wife while he was training troops at Chiriaco Summit (30 miles east of Indio with a museum in his honor) to ultimately defeat Romel in North Africa during World War 2.
The Desert is home to a handful of Native American tribes, hence all the Indian Casinos throughout the desert area. Entertainment is a big part of the Casinos’ with top musical performers nearly every week at one of the Casinos. Acrisure Arena is the home to the Firebirds Hockey Team which is affiliated with the Seattle Team. Acrisure Arena has many musical performers and other types of entertainment throughout the year.
