Nevada City Rancheria

The Nevada City Rancheria was the federally recognized land and name of the Nisenan Native American people in Northern California. The Rancheria land was obtained in 1887 by Tribal Chief Charley Cully.[1] When he died in 1911, the land allotment was converted by an executive order of President Woodrow Wilson into the Nevada City Rancheria.[1]
