Colfax-Todds Valley Consolidated Tribe

What Colfax-Todds Valley Consolidated Tribe does

The Colfax-Todds Valley Consolidated Tribe is a tribal government organization (not a commercial entity) located in the Colfax/Placer County area of California, comprised of Nisenan Maidu and Miwok people. It was formally organized in 2000 to pursue federal recognition following the tribe's wrongful termination under Congress's California Rancheria Act of 1958, executed in 1966 when the U.S. Government sold the Colfax Rancheria land over tribal protests. The tribe is governed by a Tribal Council led by Chairman Clyde Prout III, with Vice Chair/MLD Pam Cubbler, Secretary Fiona Armbruster, and Member at Large Victoria Micheels, and operates from a physical address at 333 S. Auburn St. #6, Colfax, CA, with a mailing address at P.O. Box 4884, Auburn, CA.

The tribe's core programs — its functional equivalent of products — are cultural and community assets rather than commercial goods. These include the Colfax Indian Cemetery (historical burial grounds maintained by local Native American families since the 1800s), the annual Colfax Indian Big Time (Kato Sehi) cultural event first held on August 25, 2018 at the Sierra Vista Community Center, the Koy'o Land Conservancy created in July 2020 as a wholly-owned land-restoration entity, an in-progress ceremonial roundhouse, the Niki-Esko traditional drum group, prescribed cultural burning and native plant revitalization programs, a tribal membership portal on the website, and youth and elders programming. Distribution and outreach are limited to a website (colfaxrancheria.com), community events such as Founder's Day at the Colfax Depot, email inquiries, and word-of-mouth; there is no commercial distribution, no proprietary technology platform beyond the website, no public API, no AI components, and no patents or trademarks.

The business model is non-commercial. The tribe does not sell products or services and has no disclosed revenue; funding flows through tax-deductible monetary donations to its affiliated non-profit, the Todd's Valley Miwok Maidu Cultural Foundation (Foresthill, CA, P.O. Box 1490), supplemented by volunteer labor and community support. Partnerships are non-commercial as well: Placer Land Trust was engaged mid-2021 for the Yo' Dok'im Pakan – Gerjuoy North Fork Preserve for cultural practices, and the Penn Museum (Penn State University), via Professor Dr. Brian Daniels, hosted the April 16, 2021 land transfer event. Approximately 275+ members of the Prout family alone live between Foresthill and Roseville, and historical Nisenan camps spanned over 20 sites from Colfax to Weimar.
