Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously approved the resolution, which supports federal recognition of the tribe.
“If it wasn’t for corona, I would be partying,” said Shelly Covert, the executive director for the California Heritage: Indigenous Research Project and the spokesperson for the Nevada City Nisenan Rancheria.
According to a press release, supervisors received 888 letters from the community in support of the resolution.
Covert said she is grateful for the full-bodied community support, and is eager to see Grass Valley pass a similar resolution to Nevada City and Nevada County.
Covert said this resolution provides the backing she needs to approach U.S. Rep. Doug LaMalfa, whose district includes most of Nevada County, again about the issue of federal recognition.
The Grass Valley Police Department is currently investigating a broken window, last seen intact on Dec. 5, belonging to Old Town Cafe in downtown Grass Valley.
The window was broken within 24 hours of Old Town Cafe’s owner reporting literature left on her truck, identified by investigating officers as a “handmade sticker,” Sgt. Clint Bates said.
Bates said the literature contained charged language, but said his department has not found a connection between the sticker and the broken window.
“She had received some type of literature on her car and the next day the window was broken,” Bates said. “There’s nothing to indicate that there was a hate crime.”
