“Like the miner’s canary, the Indian marks the shift…from fresh air to poison gas in our political
atmosphere; and our treatment of Indians…reflects the rise and fall in our democratic faith….”
- Felix S. Cohen, 1953
These pages serve as a guide to the Blue Lake Rancheria Tribe - as a nation, as business partners, as a part of greater Indian Country and as individual people.
We take fierce pride in the new era that is possible in Indian Country today.
Through extensive civic participation, principled business operations and the active, disciplined fulfillment of our governmental responsibilities, we seek to foster and protect the improvements Native Americans have achieved in the last few decades. Like the "miner's canary", these advances are fragile .
