History has always been a great teacher. A glimpse into the past can reveal many things about the present. History has also been a link to traditions and ceremonies we still celebrate today. These traditions keep our ancestry alive. The Shingle Springs Rancheria is fortunate to be able to trace its Miwok/Maidu ancestry back
thousands of years in Central California.
Our ancestors were early caretakers of the Earth, who told their stories through song. These songs have been passed down from generation to generation.
