The Morongo Cultural Heritage Program was created to promote and revitalize the traditional ways of life that are the very heart of Morongo. The task of preserving and maintaining the many aspects of Morongo's native culture is indeed an ongoing struggle. Like many Native Peoples throughout the globe, Southern California Tribes have experienced a dramatic loss of those vital parts of being that define them--the ways of life with which the Creator has blessed them. The Cultural Heritage Program is proud to have the support of Tribal Council and other Tribal Members as it works to promote interest in tribal history, languages, the land, and to uphold the cultural values, goals, and traditions of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians. Under this broad definition exists several individual projects and tasks that will help move the program forward in this mission.

Education and information is the key to understanding. The Morongo Band of Mission Indians actively works to be a source of education and information within the community, teaching others about Morongo's heritage and work. This is done through classroom presentations and assistance and support for outside organized groups (i.e. Malki Museum, Dorothy Ramon Learning Center, Cattlemen's Association) and interested individuals from the Tribal Community.
