The Cedarville Rancheria is a small Federally Recognized Tribe comprised of 30 tribal members. All members are persons whose names appear on or are entitled to appear on the Official Census Roll dated July 18, 1954; each are lineal descendants of persons eligible for membership.
The Cedarville Rancheria is located on 19 acres in Cedarville, California. Many families reside on the rancheria. One or two families live off the rancheria, but in the area. The remaining members live in the western states.
Also located on the rancheria is our Community Center where we hold various events. One of the largest events of each quarter is our Council Meetings. Regular meetings begin on the first Sunday of January at 2:00 p.m., then are scheduled so that one takes place each quarter of the year.
The term of our officers is three years. Requirements of members wanting to run for office are only that s/he is over 18 years of age and is an enrolled member of the Cedarville Rancheria. Elections take place at the end of each term and votes are place by a secret ballot.
Other tribal activities held in the Community Center include ICWA events such as youth tutoring and holiday gatherings. The Community Center can be rented for functions unrelated to the tribe by members and the community. For more information, please contact the tribal office.
Currently, Cedarville Rancheria has its Economic Development Committee and Tribal Members working on the planning stages of new projects in hopes of boosting our community's economy. We are very excited about all the new ideas and dreams that are finally coming about. Our first attempt at running a business has come with our purchase of what is now the Cedarville Rancheria Public Scales. For more details, go to our Economic Development link.
We offer our members assistance through various programs that our tribe has. Services include Aid to Tribal Government (ATTG), Indian Welfare Act (ICWA), Community Fire Protection (CFP), Hazardous Fuels (HF), Housing Improvement Plan (HIP), Roads Maintenance Program (ROADS), Community Service Block Grant (CSBG), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Adult Education, Economic Development, Job Placement, Social Services and Indian Housing Plans (IHP).
