Sacramento's
Native American History and Culture
Native Americans live, work, & play in the Sacramento and surrounding areas, including the site of the State Indian Museum urban park, just as their ancestors did since ancient times.
We are proud of our commitment to honoring California Indian culture and invite you to participate. We believe that supporting this vital and valuable culture through education creates growth, learning & sharing opportunities for everyone. Join us!
