Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation is a federally recognized, self-governing Native American tribe located in Brooks, California. It administers its own laws and governance through a constitution and bylaws, with a Tribal Council guiding both government functions and the nation’s business interests. Its activities include notable enterprises such as Cache Creek Casino Resort and the Séka Hills Olive Mill & Tasting Room, while pursuing goals like education, cultural renewal, natural-resource stewardship, and community well-being. The Tribal Council sustains government-to-government relationships with the State of California and Yolo County, negotiating formal agreements with state, county, and local agencies to manage tribal lands and affairs. In 2024, Yocha Dehe entered into a collaborative effort with the Yolo County Resource Conservation District to address invasive weeds, restore habitat, and mitigate flood and wildfire risk across three tribal sites. Based in Brooks, the organization operates within the government administration sector as a sovereign entity with a mid-sized workforce.
