Originally 160 acres, the Rancheria now encompasses almost 1,000 acres. Despite many hardships, the Tribe has persevered and thrived. In the early 1900s, the Tribe was relocated by the government to what is now known as the Shingle Springs Rancheria. They flourished for thousands of years in what is now California's central valley, strategically living on the Sacramento River at the confluences of the Feather and American rivers. The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians are descendants of the Miwok and Southern Maidu 'Nisenan' Indians.
