Buena Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of California

The Buena Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians is reorganizing the tribal library in the Upusani Cultural Center in Amador County, California and developing physical and digital collections for the tribal community and its future generations to use. The library’s collections include books, archival documents, historical records, and community images related to Me-Wuk peoples across the eastern Central Valley, which serve to protect and advance the tribe’s collective historical knowledge. Staff will prioritize the development of a catalog to help users access materials, as well as an open access digital collection, using the Murkurtu content management system.
