Remembering Reina Wintu Recognition Project CILS has been assisting Northern California's Wintu Tribe with their quest for federal recognition. Notably, CILS facilitated a meeting between Tribal members and California Attorney General Bill Lockyer, which took place in a Wintu sweat house, in an ongoing effort to gain state support for the federal recognition bill which CILS has drafted.
Work continues on the project, and the bill is gaining support.
