Resighini Rancheria

The Resighini Rancheria,[1] located just south of Klamath, California, is a federally recognized tribe of Yurok people.

On January 7, 1938, Augusta (Gus) Resighini conveyed a tract of 228 acres of land on Waukell Flat to the Government of the United States as part of an effort stated in 1937 by the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ Hoopa Agency called the contractual land acquisition project.

The authority used the Secretary of Indian Affairs to create the Resighini Rancheria, and other Rancherías in California, was granted in a series of appropriations legislation passed between 1906 and 1910.
