California Valley Miwok Tribe faces foreclosure of headquarters






The California Valley Miwok Tribe could soon lose its only property.

The tribe operates out of a small house in Stockton. But it hasn't been able to make payments due to a halt in revenue sharing funds from the state of California.

"Right now we're fighting for an acre and a half. People say (I) live in a mansion. This is the tribe's house. I have a room," Chairperson Silvia Burley told News10.

The property was scheduled to go to auction on Monday but the tribe got a 24-hour reprieve. Updates are being posted on the tribe's website.
