Konkow Valley Band of Maidu Indians

We, the Konkow Valley Band of Maidu Indians, were almost destroyed by the California Gold Rush Era of 1848.   Family members were killed while others were rounded up and taken to the Round Valley Reservation.  Our Band (Tribe) is unrecognized by the government but we are taking steps by petitioning for recognition.  Our Great-Grandmother (Yohema) escaped capture and was able to start a family in Yankee Hill, California.
We struggle as a Tribe with no landbase.  The money raised will be used to put a down on some property whereas we can develop a Community Center/Museum for our Tribes future education program.   For those that donate funds a plaque will honor those for helping with our heartfelt thanks.
