Description

A veteran portion of the display includes actual stories of Wintu veterans with artifacts to support the stories, artifacts from other California tribes are also on exhibit to promote a more dynamic learning environment through rotation of displays. The museum works in conjunction with the community room and the research library to facilitate learning and awareness.

These artifacts are vitally important to the tribe for spiritual, ceremonial, educational, and historical purposes." See website for details on available materials and access.
