Suscol Intertribal Council, Local Nonprofit

The Mission of Suscol Intertribal Council is to develop and maintain a Native American "Suskol House" in Chiles-Pope Valley, located in the Northeastern corner of Napa County, CA. The Land Project will be a sustainable, environmentally-friendly, open space whose living sculpture building will be used for a proto type incubator project. As well as preserving and protecting Native American sacred sites and traditions. Suscol Council is dedicated to preserving human rights for indigenous people by linking with other NGOs around the world.

Since 1992 Suscol Council has developed local educational outreach programs for public schools (K-14), community clubs, and other organizations. Suscol Council develops contracts with organizations that seek to connect with California tribes or urban Indians. Suscol Council has developed a mentor-ship program to help California Native people make connections with agencies, foundations, and corporations that might be helpful to them.

Suscol Council is located in the Napa Valley, believed to be one of the oldest inhabited areas in North America. There is however, no longer a land-based tribe in this county, due to historical mass relocations and detrimental exposure to diseases.
