About Needles, CA

The Mohave, one of the traditional Colorado River Indian Tribes, are Native Americans who had lived in the Mojave Valley for thousands of years before the early Spanish explorers arrived. They call themselves the ʼAha Makhav, which in the Mojave language comes from two words: ʼaha, meaning "river", and makhav, meaning "along" or "beside". Thus they are the "people who live along the river". The Mojave traded with the tribes of coastal Southern California by way of the Mohave Trail. The first European to visit the Mojave was Franciscan missionary Francisco Garcés, who traveled on the trail and reported on it in 1776.
