Cahuilla people
The Iviatim are Native Americans of the inland areas of southern California.〔("California Indians and Their Reservations. ) ''SDSU Libray and Information Access.'' 〕 Their original territory included an area of about . The traditional Cahuilla territory was near the geographic center of Southern California. It was bounded to the north by the San Bernardino Mountains,〔 to the south by Borrego Springs and the Chocolate Mountains, to the east by the Colorado Desert, and to the west by the San Jacinto Plain and the eastern slopes of the Palomar Mountains.〔Bean, 1978〕
==Language and name==
The Cahuilla language is in the Uto-Aztecan family. A 1990 census revealed 35 speakers in an ethnic population of 800. It is critically endangered, since most speakers are middle-aged or older. In their own language, their autonym is Iviatim, and the name of their language is Ivia. ''Cahuilla'' is an exonym applied to the group after mission secularization in the Ranchos of California. The word "Cahuilla" is probably from the Ivia word ''kawi'a'', meaning "master."〔
