The Ridge Tapestry Project is a series of embroidered tapestries intended to express the history, culture and landscapes, as well as our hopes for the future of the San Juan Ridge, near Nevada City, California.

We envision a future in which the Yuba River watershed thrives and is resilient in the face of climate change. We envision a free-flowing Yuba and healthy ecosystems that support wildlife and people — from the ridges to the canyons and the summit to the sea.

The North Columbia Schoolhouse Cultural Center provides programming that enhances our community life. We have hosted hundreds of unique cultural events with international artists, musicians, as well as film screenings, community forums, classes, festivals, and the nationally renowned Sierra Storytelling Festival.

The Nevada City Rancheria was created from an executive order by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913 from a land allotment obtained by Chief Charlie Cully in 1887. Cully's land on Cement Hill became Federal Trust Land and the Tribal government became a federally recognized entity. It was one of 48 Rancherias illegally terminated in the 1950s and 1960s by the California Rancheria Termination Acts. Most have been restored; the Nevada City Nisenan Rancheria has not—yet.
