˜Wintu Culture and History –

As a complement to our Wintu language information, here is our collection of indexed links about the Wintu tribe and their society. Please note that Wintus and other American Indians are living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Wintu history is interesting and important, but the Wintu Indians are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern writers as well as traditional folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies of yesterday. Please contact us if you have a Wintu link to add.
