About Our Organization
Mission Statement
The mission of the Wintu Educational and Cultural Council is to secure and protect all archaeological resources, sacred sites, Tribal traditions and customs. The Council also promotes spiritual growth through exposure to cultural activities such as dancing, songs, and stories learned from the elders. Thus, encouraging respect and honor towards the Elders and Veterans who served our people. It is strongly believed by the council that the youth of our community must become aware of and learn as much as possible of their cultural heritage. Therefore, enhancing the Wintu's cultural and linguistic sustainability.
Vision Statement
This council's vision is to revitalize our traditional customs, spirituality and cultural heritage for the benefit of the Native Wintu Community. It also envisions a future of protection and security of our sacred sites and archaeological resources in our ancestral homelands. Also, through exposure to educational opportunities and linguistic teaching, our culture and traditions will endure to many future generations to come.
