Nomi Lackee Indian Reservation
Flournoy, Tehama County · California
Erected by Flournoy Farm Bureau Center; Native Daughters of the Golden West, Berendos Parlor No. 23, 1938
Nomi Lackee is a rendering of Nomlaki, the name of the people whose ground this was. The reservation opened here in 1854, one of California's first, and was dissolved in 1863, and the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians remembers its ancestors walking to Round Valley that year. The only plaque is a 1938 bronze from the Flournoy Farm Bureau Center, a herd of cattle in relief, that calls them militant Indians and says they moved in 1866. No state plaque stands, and the site is on a fenced private ranch.
