Mission Statement
To Preserve, Protect, and Perpetuate Nisenan Indigenous Culture.
About This Cause
We support the Tribal community of the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe and provide the larger community with educational opportunities about Nisenan culture. The Nisenan were unfortunate enough to live at the epicenter of gold discovery in California. They barely survived the influx of miners, pioneers, and settlers, and even survived the campaign of extermination targeted at their people. Today, the Nisenan seek visibility and advocate for the restoration of their Federal Recognition that was taken away in 1964. Research, education, and Cultural Revitalization are at the center of this organization's support. Fundraising is critical to our success and we continue to grow and build capacity through which, we can more efficiently preserve this ancient culture and support its living descendants. Social justice is also key to our success. The truths of what happened to the Nisenan during and after the gold rush are not known by people today. We fight to change this one sided narrative.
