La Posta Band of Diegueño Mission Indians

[5] The reservation borders the Cleveland National Forest and is accessed only by one unpaved road that is usually fenced off to prevent trespassers.

Since the reservation of this tribe expands 4,000 acres, some of its territory extends towards Yuma Arizona where their closest relatives reside.

Tiipai belongs to the Yuman branch of the greater Hokan linguistic family.

Elected members serve two-year terms, and the general council meets quarterly.

The tribe owned and operated the La Posta Casino and Marie's Restaurant in Boulevard which closed in 2012.

[9] The tribes education comes from the Mountain Empire Unified School District that was founded in 1923.
