The Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians


If you're traveling Northbound on Interstate 5 (I-5) just outside Corning, you will see this newly installed Highway Sign. This portion of the Interstate in Tehama County between the exits of Gyle Road and Flores Avenue has been designated as the NOMLAKI HIGHWAY in recognition of the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians who were the original inhabitants of Tehama County. This site was chosen as it is considered the heart of historical Nomlaki homeland. (Just click on the picture for a larger view).
