Our Story
YoloSol came together during the pandemic as an intergenerational summer camp.
We shared stories of local activism and learned about the native cultures of the Yolo bioregion, which is nested in the Wintun homeland.
Some of these stories are troubled.
So we decided to use our creativity to heal our relationships with the place we call home.
We invite you to join us in creating a restorative future.
View Land Acknowledgement
Please take a moment to acknowledge the land on which we are gathered. For thousands of years, this land has been the home of Patwin people. Today, there are three federally recognized Patwin tribes: Cachil DeHe Band of Wintun Indians of the Colusa Indian Community, Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation, and Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation. Additionally, we understand that there are unrecognized native peoples (i.e., not politically affiliated to any tribe) who live in our cities and neighborhoods as well.
The Patwin people have remained committed to the stewardship of this land over many centuries. It has been cherished and protected, as elders have instructed the young through generations. We are honored and grateful to be here today on their traditional lands.
We understand that land acknowledgements are just the beginning, and encourage community members to go beyond this symbolic gesture. Here are some ways to move your solidarity into action: https://nativegov.org/news/beyond-land-acknowledgment-guide/
