Description

Florence Curl Jones (1907-2003) was the spiritual leader and chief healer of the Winnemem Wintu tribe of Northern California. Although the Wintu's numbers have dwindled from over 14,000 when contact with non-Natives was recorded to only 395, Jones has been at the forefront of a fight to save sacred sites and their way of life.
