Andersonia West is situated in the territory of the Sinkyone people, who lived harmoniously and abundantly in this region for millennia. In 1986, 10 federally recognized Northern California tribes created the nonprofit InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council, the first-ever intertribal cultural land protection organization. Through the Sinkyone Council, the tribes work together to prohibit development, industrial logging, other harmful extractions, and fragmentation on their lands, while elevating their own traditional values, revitalization of the ancient redwood ecosystem, and reestablishment of their people’s cultural relationships with lands and waters of the Sinkyone region.
