Participants included Tribe members (Tribe Council, children, adults, seniors) and non-Tribe members who are employees on the reservation.

Community Details
Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians is a federally recognized sovereign nation located in Northern California with a deep tradition of resiliency, culture, and a strong vision for the future of all peoples living in the Corning-Paskenta Tribal Community. Members of the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians have lived in Northern California for generations, in what is now called Tehama and Glenn Counties. Paskenta lands lie between Red Bluff, California, and Stoney Creek, California, west of the Sacramento River. Indigenous people are one of the most undercounted and underrepresented groups according to the U.S. Census Tribal, yet, it is believed that Tribe members of the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians contribute to the above-average poverty rates in Tehama County. Families share homes, unemployment rates are likely above average, and it is unknown the degree to which transportation plays a role in this.
