Maidu Summit Consortium Land Management Plan Proposal and Working
Document for the Pacific Forest and Watershed Lands Stewardship Council

This Land Management Plan proposal and working document for areas of Pacific Gas
and Electric Company lands now under the jurisdiction of the Pacific Forest and
Watershed Lands Stewardship Council has been prepared on behalf of and in
collaboration with the Maidu Summit Consortium. The Maidu Summit Consortium is
made up of various area Maidu tribes, non-profit organizations, and other groups. The
information and ideas contained in the following pages have been assembled during
group Summit meetings and through meetings with individual members of the local
community, as well as with various other groups and organizations.

The lands discussed in this document are all located within Plumas County, California
and, as such, are all part of the Maidu homeland. These lands, once owned by the Maidu,
eventually came under the ownership of the United States of America and, through
various processes, eventually, the Pacific Gas and Electric Company. However,
throughout time and regardless of deed ownership these lands have continued to be
important to the Maidu and now that these lands are under the jurisdiction of the Pacific
Forest and Watershed Lands Stewardship Council and subject to a change in ownership,
the Maidu Summit Consortium knows that it is time to return these lands to Maidu
ownership. Maidu ownership of these lands will allow Maidu to become an integral part
of Maidu cultural perpetuation as well as a place where an empowered Maidu community
can add to overall land management practice and methodology while also accessing
essential natural resources.
