Heritage

Yocha Dehe–pronounced “YO-cha DEE-hee”– means “home by the spring water” in our native Patwin language, and takes us back to our origins, our roots, our land. As the historical inhabitants of California’s Capay Valley, our homeland is at the heart of our culture and heritage.

We are a forward-looking, independent, self-governed nation that supports our people and community by strengthening our culture, stewarding our land and creating positive economic impacts and security for our future generations.
