The Cahuilla children played with each other, went to school, helped around the house, did hunting, and they did fishing with their father. They had less time to play and more time to do chores. Children also gathered yucca and other food. Cahuilla men hunted and fished and sometimes went to war as well as trading. Cahuilla women did most of the chores children did and made baskets. Both men and women did storytelling, artwork and music, and traditional medicine.
