To understand our people, you must first know our history.
- Ancient
- For thousand of years, bands of Wintun people dwelled along the waters of Cache Creek in the Capay Valley and lived off the bounty of the land.
- Past
- In the late 19th and early 20th century, the few Wintun who had survived epidemics, massacres, and forced labor were placed by the government on scattered reservations.
- Modern
- When the State of California started the State Lottery in the early 1980s, they opened the door to other forms of regulated gambling in the state, and several tribes took advantage of the opportunity offered for economic development.
