The Redding Rancheria will begin construction on a $230 million health village on March 17, aiming to transform Native healthcare with a whole-body approach. The 185,000-square-foot facility in Shasta County, Calif., will integrate Western medicine with Indigenous healing practices, offering fitness spaces, hydrotherapy, and traditional Native healers. The project, self-funded by the tribe, is set to open in 2027 and will serve both Native and non-Native patients.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we exist to illuminate tribal government for everyone who cares about transparency in Native issues. Our work bridges the gap left by tribal-controlled media and non-Native, extractive journalism, providing the insights necessary for truly informed decision-making and a better quality of life. Because the consequences of restricted press freedom affect our communities every day, our trauma-informed reporting is rooted in a deep, firsthand expertise.
