WinnememWintu
We are the people of the Winnemem (McCloud) River watershed on the South side of Mt Shasta, in Northern California. In our language Winnemem Wintu translates to Middle Water People as the McCloud River is bounded by the Upper Sacramento to the West and the Pit River to the East. We were born from water, we are of the water, and we fight to protect it.
We continue to pray and hold ceremony at our traditional sacred places that remain accessible to us. Our lands were taken, without compensation, when the Shasta Dam was completed in 1945 and flooded our beloved river home.
