The Redding Rancheria has a constitution, adopted in 1989, signed by Bob Foreman the First tribal chairman. It is located in the northern Sacramento Valley, near Redding.
The Redding Rancheria consists of Wintu, Achomawi (Pit River), and Yana Indians. Three groups of Native Americans in the area organized as a tribe and were recognized in 1979. They had been made landless by European-American settlers in the area. The 31-acre site (13 ha) of the Redding Rancheria was purchased in 1922 by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in order to provide Indigenous peoples with a place to camp and live. The Redding Rancheria is a federally recognized tribe with a reservation in Shasta County, Northern California.
