2022 – Government

Marshall McKay, Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, served as a member of the Yocha Dehe Tribal Council for 31 years and was elected to lead the tribe as its chairman for nearly a decade. He continued to serve on many of the tribe’s governmental bodies, including the Board of Directors for Cache Creek Casino Resort. Marshall’s leadership was instrumental in helping Yocha Dehe achieve economic independence and greatly expand the tribe’s land holdings within Yocha Dehe’s ancestral territory.  He was also a founding member of the nonprofit Native Arts and Cultures Foundation and the first Native American board chair of the Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles, California.
