Brief Profile

The Mono, also known as the Western Mono, call themselves the Nimi, or "People," in their own language. Traditionally, they resided in central California along the Sierra Nevada.

Today most Mono reside on the Big Sandy and Cold Springs Rancherias, with other Indians on the Tule River Reservation, and in several northern California communities.

The Mono Tribal Council is located in Dunlap, California. Formal communities include the Tule River Reservation (Tulare County, shared, with a tribal council); the Posgisa community at Big Sandy Rancheria (Fresno County) (495 tribal members); the Num, located around the town of North Fork (1,800 tribal members); the Wobonuch community at Dunlap; and the Holkoma community at Cold Springs Rancheria (275 tribal members).

The Mono adhere to traditional ethnic beliefs and a smaller percentage are evangelical Christians.
