By Simir Shah
This museum of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, the city's original people, is in the downtown Cultural Plaza. Its nearly 10,000-square-foot permanent gallery tells the tribe's story, and outside the Oasis Trail recreates the plants, rocks and water of the Indian and Tahquitz canyons. It's the best primer before hiking the tribal canyons, and it offers sensory guides and courtesy wheelchairs. Free Thursday nights are walk-up only.
