In the fall of 2023, California Heritage Indigenous Research Project was presented with an opportunity to reclaim a portion of the Nisenan Ancestral Homelands through the purchase of 232 acres of land and accompanying buildings on behalf of the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe. The land is located on the historic Nisenan village site called Yulića near Nevada City. 

Currently known as Woolman and owned by the College Park Friends Educational Association, the land has acted primarily as a Quaker boarding and experiential-education school, summer camp, and Friends meeting house, founded on the principles of peace, social justice, and sustainability. Transitioning the land back to the Tribe embodies Woolman’s values and fulfills a spiritual endeavor to promote right relationship between its recent stewards and the land’s original inhabitants.
