For thousands of years, Native American people have lived in the oak forests, rolling hills and grasslands of California’s Capay Valley, tending the natural resources, following ancient wisdom and creating eternal bonds with the land. Today our Tribe is known as the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, named for our ancestral village meaning “Home by the Spring Water.” As we strive to preserve our language and the legacy of our ancestors, we continue to grow in this valley, reflecting a contemporary Native culture rooted in vibrant history and traditions.
