  1. Tribal History

    TIMELINE & PHOTOGRAPHS

    The Me-Wuk Indians have been living on aboriginal tribal land of what later became Amador County since at least 1817, more than 30 years before the devastation of northern California Tribal governments and communities that coincided with the start of the 1849 "Gold Rush."

  2. Tribal Events

    CULTURAL & COMMUNITY

    The Buena Vista Tribe is dedicated to carrying on their ancestors' traditions. One of the ways to do that is through gatherings. It is a powerful and positive energy when you can get Native People together. We have created our own gatherings to share with, not only our Tribe, but anyone who wants to participate.

    The Tribe strives to provide a culturally supportive environment as a method of teaching children, bringing back some of the old ways of Native American child rearing that includes a peaceful, homelike environment, attention to oral traditions, respect for elders, a close walk with nature and individual spirituality.

Language Preservation

Preserving our culture is the key to a tribe's survival. Our language was once forbidden, almost forgotten, remember it and speak it! Our tongues nearly lost our songs, find them and sing them! Our feet almost lost the beat of the foot drum, listen to it and dance!
