The Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation Tribal Council has voted to continue the grant of more than $190,000 in "gap funds" to maintain certain essential services that aid the underserved residents of the Madison-Esparto-Capay Valley region.
In these difficult economic times, the tribe has stepped forward to backfill funds that have been cut due to federal and local government budget shortfalls, according to Tico Zendejas, executive director of RISE.
