First time in Over a Hundred years to Own Land in Traditional Territory




 In 2022 the Konkow Valley Band of Maidu Indians was given over 10 acers of land in their traditional territory in Concow. This wasn't from the state or the federal Government but from good people who seen some wrongs made threw out history and wanted to try to make a right. The people from Concow Campground ( Concow Partners) have stepped up given some of their land and friendship to the Konkow tribe. To be able to have a say about our land, to build a traditional village to tend to native plants is something our family for generations has never experienced. We sing, we dance, we give thanks to the creator like it used to be.... like should be. Being a non-federal tribe make the LAND BACK MOVEMNT hard, we don't get the help or benefits like the 4 other tribes (Federal) in our area. So, when the group from the campground stepped up and made a proposal to give us land, it was a feeling like no other all the years of trying to be heard was coming out loud and clear.
