Geocache Description:

Native American Tribe Series


Nomelaki

 

The Nomelaki (also spelled Nomlaki, Nome Lackee, etc.) traditionally lived in the central  part of the Sacramento Valley, in Tehama and Glenn Counties. They are the central division of the Wintun Tribe. From 1854 to 1863, they occupied their own reservation called the Nome Lackee Reservation, and for a time also lived on the Round Valley Reservation. Some of their descendants now reside on the Grindstone Rancheria.  The Nomlaki were bordered by the Wintu (Wintun) in the north, the Yana in the northeast and east, the Konkow (Maiduan) in the east, the Patwin (Wintun) in the south, and the Yuki in the west.

 

The US federal government restored the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians to full tribal status in 1994. They were able to acquire land, the Paskenta Rancheria (39°52′05″N 122°13′28″W), and establish the Rolling Hills Casino outside of Corning, California. Their tribal office is located in Orland, California. Nomlaki people are also enrolled in the federally recognized Grindstone Indian Rancheria and Round Valley Indian Tribes.
