Wintu Educational & Cultural Council

The Wintu Educational & Cultural Council is a non-profit organization based in Hayfork, CA, dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of the Native Wintu Community. Their mission is to protect archaeological resources, sacred sites, and tribal traditions, while also fostering spiritual growth through cultural activities such as dancing, songs, and stories passed down by elders. With a vision of revitalizing traditional customs and ensuring the security of ancestral homelands, the council offers exciting projects for the community, including an Adopt A Highway program, Acorn Gatherings, scholarship programs, and cultural events like the Acorn Harvest and Acorn Dances.

The council also engages in community-building initiatives, such as a local mural project in downtown Hayfork, showcasing Wintu culture and art. They offer reference books on Wintu history and neighboring tribes, as well as resources on the harvesting and management of California's oak communities. With a dedicated board of directors and cultural advisers, the Wintu Educational & Cultural Council welcomes the public to participate in their events and join them in their mission to preserve and pass on the Wintu cultural heritage to future generations.
