The California Valley Miwok Tribe (located at 10601 N. Escondido PL, Stockton, CA, as listed in the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ BIA/DOI Spring 2011 Tribal Leaders Directory), a federally recognized tribe eligible to receive and distribute services from the federal government – on Tuesday, October 18th, 2011, held this month’s food distribution. It was a festive occasion, with many accreditations and a long-worked-for tribal goal achieved. The Tribe serviced all whom attended, received the services of the many local veterans whom support this tribal event through their continued assistance and charitable donations, and received the long awaited “Official” California Valley Miwok Tribal Flag that will soon fly proudly above the tribal office grounds as a symbol of a proud and sovereign people.
The Tribe’s resolve to protect their sovereignty grows stronger by the day, in belief that the Tribe’s dark days are soon to be behind us, so we thank all of those whom have stood strong and supported Indian sovereignty and for their assistance to the Tribe in endeavors such as this.
