Suskol House

Suscol Intertribal Council is dedicated to preserving Native American culture for future generations. An integral part of that goal is the construction of the Suskol House, a place of gathering and ceremony for Native and Indigenous people based in sustainable land and water use. The Suskol House property consists of 20 acres in Chiles-Pope Valley that is entirely off-grid, with its own water collection system and low impact building development plan. The land was purchased in 1998 north of Napa. In 2021, framing on the house began. To complete this decades-long project, funding from the public is crucial.
