Maidu Summit's upcoming events regarding Covid 19.

Due to the current Covid-19 and shelter-in-place precautions, we are making the difficult decision to cancel this year’s planned July 25th event date for the Friends of Humbug Gathering. If at such a time that we are able to reschedule the event for a later date in late Summer or early Fall, we will update this page accordingly.

Yellow-Creek Campground is currently closed and we are closely monitoring the Covid-19 situation so that we may re-open as soon as possible for the 2020 recreation year. We will continue to update this page as we work through these current challenges.

The Maidu Summit Office is currently closed to the public. If you need assistance, please call Alisha Wilson, Maidu Summit Coordinator, at (530) 616-9127 or email at alisha@maidusummit.org.

Thank you for your understanding.

Water Solutions Network Partnering with Maidu Summit Consortium May 2019

Maidu Summit Consortium Board Members and staff along with Water Solutions Network Cohert members met May 8, 2019.

The partnering meeting and site visit was conducted at the Chester office.

Technical service programs enable United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to partner with this unique organization to comprehensively identify problems and opportunities on recently acquired ancestral lands and consider a broader, rich view of community values and partner perspectives. 

Tásmam Koyóm Land Transfer

Tásmam Koyóm was returned to the Maidu Summit Consortium on September 20, 2019, this was a historical moment in MSC history. Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) transferred 2,325 acres of land back to the Mountain Maidu people. The consortium started in 2003 for this purpose, it’s been a long wait for the Maidu people, volunteers, and the vision that Ferrel Cunningham and the MSC board members had to finally bring our land back home to our people. 

Board member/Secretary Marvena Harris reflected on this important day. “The reality of this is that our lands were created by Kodoyapem, World Maker, for our People to use and live. We never take no more than we need to from the land or animals. The land has always been ours and will always be ours. We are here to be stewards of the land and creatures that exist on the land”. 

Local Maidu elders as well as elders from far away came to join in the celebration. Elder Lila Madrid from Covelo CA. attended the event and was a part of the ribbon cutting ceremony, saying she wished her parents and siblings were alive to see the land come back to the Mountain Maidu people.
