Why Bollibokka Matters

About Bollibokka

Bollibokka is a vital area along the McCloud River—once managed by Westlands Water District, now available for purchase. For the Winnemem Wintu, these ancestral lands are sacred, hosting ceremonies marking young peoples’ transition into adulthood. Acquiring Bollibokka ensures preservation of these culturally significant sites and supports the establishment of a salmon incubation system to restore Chinook salmon populations.

Protecting this land is essential for upholding spiritual traditions and reviving the river's delicate ecosystem. With the land sale pending, every contribution brings us closer to re-indigenizing Bollibokka and fulfilling our ancestral responsibilities.
