We are honored that you have chosen to visit us and learn more about our people and our work here in our traditional and sacred lands in the Capay Valley. We are a proudly recognized sovereign nation, led by an elected Tribal Council, and deeply committed to our role as stewards of our heritage, our land and our greater community.

The indigenous name of our Rancheria is Yocha-De-He, which translates to Home by the Spring Water – referring to Cache Creek which flows along the eastern edge of our property. This valley has sustained our people for millennia, through times of bounty and times of great devastation. Today, we are in a strong and hopeful place and are grateful for the ability to share our success and accomplishments with our community and neighbors.

The strength of Native communities is found in our unique worldviews, tribal identities and traditional knowledge and life-ways. At the center of our strength are community values including interdependence, reciprocity and responsibility for one another. It is my wish and my prayer that our future generations will enjoy our enriching cultures and languages, our histories, our arts and traditions.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the people of Yocha-De-He.

Wile Bo,

Marshall McKay
Tribal Chairman
