Covert says 75 acres on Cement Hill eventually became a reservation for the Niesenan in 1913, but the Niesenan reservation was disbanded in 1964 when the United States went through a period of terminating tribes. The first Nisenan Heritage Day will be presented Saturday October 13th at the Miners Foundry beginning at 10 a.m. and the Niesenan people invite the public to come take part in a celebration of their culture, enjoy Nisenan artists, vendors and performances. There will also be guided tours of Nevada City Firehouse Number 1 where there is a museum of Niesenan artifacts.
