Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation

In 2009, the Tribe legally changed our name from the Rumsey Band of Wintun Indians, as we were originally labeled by the federal government, to Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, named for our homeland in our ancestral Patwin language. The name change represents an important mark in time for the people of Yocha Dehe. It connects our Tribe to our heritage and expresses our sense of pride and hope for the future.

The Rumsey Rancheria is a federally-recognized rancheria located in Yolo County, California.
