Our Work
CHIRP PROGRAM AREAS
CHIRP’s mission is rooted in honoring and revitalizing Nisenan Culture, fostering stewardship of their Ancestral Homelands, and advocating for the visibility and sovereignty of the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe.
Through interconnected program areas, CHIRP works to reconnect Land and People, preserve and celebrate Cultural expressions, and illuminate the historical and contemporary truths of the Tribe.

Support CHIRP’s Work
The development and success of all of CHIRP’s program areas are directly tied to the generosity of our Ancestral Homelands Reciprocity Program (AHRP) supporters.
Contributions through AHRP have been instrumental in advancing key initiatives, from Land restoration and Cultural revitalization to community education and Tribal wellness. This support ensures that the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe continues to thrive in their Ancestral Homelands.
By becoming an AHRP member, you can help sustain this momentum and empower the Tribe to preserve their Culture and achieve lasting sustainability.
