"The Rumsey Rancheria Band of Wintun Indians appreciates the Bee's recent acknowledgments of our sincere and productive outreach to our Yolo County and Capay Valley neighbors. We share and value our stewardship over a unique region and are absolutely committed to protecting and preserving the things that make this area such a wonderful place to live, work and visit.

We are very attentive and responsive to concerns over important matters such as water supplies, traffic and the environment related to our present and planned new facilities. These and other vital topics will be addressed in the Tribal Environmental Impact Report process that is now under way. This study will guide the actions needed to mitigate problems.

The Capay Valley is our home, too, and has been for centuries. Like our neighbors, we are determined to be good stewards of this special area."
