Patwin band, traditionally the largest Tribe in Napa County+.
For countless generations, the Patwin people have lived throughout the lands now known as Yolo, Solano, Colusa, and parts of Lake and Napa counties. These ancestral homelands are more than a place on a map—they hold the Tribe’s history, culture, traditions and enduring connection to the land.
Today, the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation continues to care for these lands, protect cultural places and share the history of the Patwin people. Through cultural preservation, environmental stewardship and partnerships with local communities, the Tribe works to ensure this connection continues for generations to come.
The Patwin people are not only part of California’s history. They are a living, thriving community whose presence and contributions continue today.
