Redding Rancheria
Redding Rancheria is the Tribal organization for descendants of indigenous Northern California Indian tribes in Shasta County. Current Tribal affiliations are Wintu, Pit River and Yana. Most of the Rancheria's 261 members live and work in Shasta County. The Rancheria (small reservation), situated on 30.89 acres in south Redding, had it's Federal recognition restored as a Sovereign Nation in 1985.
In the pursuit of Native American self-reliance Rancheria members opted to construct Win-River Casino in 1993, enabling further business expansion and job opportunities. The Redding Rancheria administration offices and community center, an Indian health clinic and Head Start school are examples of this growth.
The recently completed Win-River Mini-Mart, casino expansion and a new 100-room hotel will bring additional employment and economic development to Shasta County
