Current status, direct contacts, and bounded legal-resource information.
No enactment was located in the September 16 check. The Check-In therefore continues to describe the bill as pending rather than as a completed land transfer.

Pit River ICWA can assist with court notices, case planning, placement-preference advocacy, family finding, and resource coordination. If a deadline is involved, contact the responsible office and court/agency promptly rather than relying on an older notice.

A Native-community notice circulated earlier this month points people toward California’s pardon process. The Governor’s current page confirms that a person with a California conviction may apply for a direct pardon without a lawyer. The Check-In does not treat the circulated flyer’s mailing address as controlling because the current state instructions differ.
This is an information resource, not legal advice.

Current Pit River openings first, followed by practical education and training routes.
GL Fund Accountant and Kwahn Board Member are additions compared with last week’s list. Use the official hub for applications and the latest closing status.

The official PRHS employment pathway remains active. A supplied September flyer highlights Optometrist, Primary Care Provider, Therapist, and LVN/MA openings. Because individual postings change, use the live employment page before applying.

Intertribal Agriculture Council’s current 2026 material lists a $500 award for eligible Native youth and young professionals ages 14–26 working toward agriculture, natural-resources, and food-systems goals. Use IAC’s current page rather than older flyer amounts.
Direct family-safety and behavioral-health routes, plus selected Native advocate training.
If a child-welfare notice, placement issue, or court deadline is involved, the Pit River ICWA Department is the direct Tribal contact route. Keep copies of notices and record who you speak with.

Red Wind describes the institute as Indigenous-centered training to prevent, identify, and respond to abuse in later life. This is a professional regional/national training, not a Pit River program.

Pit River-linked items first. Broader Native events are included as regional information, not as Pit River programs.
The supplied CA Open Farm Passport / Modoc Harvest flyer says tours are free and farm products may be available for purchase. Confirm with the listed contact before making a special trip.

The National Bison Association lists this as a virtual technical-services webinar for people introducing buffalo to a herd.
The supplied flyer says local Indigenous community members are welcome and notes cabins/camping, meals, some materials, and limited fuel cards. No matching organizer webpage was located in the current source check; confirm directly before travel.

Use the organizer’s current event page for the newest schedule and travel details.
IITC’s current 2026 event page confirms both October 12 events. Recheck the ticket provider before travel for the final boat schedule and ticket availability.

A supplied flyer lists an Indigenous Peoples’ Day gathering hosted by the San Pasqual Band of Kumeyaay Nation at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park on October 12. The Safari Park has hosted prior Indigenous Peoples’ celebrations with the San Pasqual Band, but a matching 2026 event page was not located in this check. Confirm program and access details before travel.

The supplied save-the-date flyer lists Santa Rosa Junior College and themes including hair teachings, cultural education, youth advocacy, prevention, and a braid contest. Because the event is still two months away and no current organizer page was located in this check, confirm details before travel.

The Adin-area one-way controls carried in last week’s Check-In are not listed in Caltrans’ current SR 299 report. Current listed controls are farther west in Humboldt and Trinity counties through September 18. Conditions can change during the day.

Current health contacts, community input, food support, and service routes.

For needs that fall outside a Tribal program or while you are trying to identify another local service, 211 NorCal and CalFresh remain additional public routes.

Milestones worth tracking without turning them into claims beyond the evidence.
The Pit River Emergency Operations Center has reached its ribbon-cutting milestone. That confirms completion of the facility milestone; it does not by itself establish every staffing or operational capability.

Pit River representatives recently hosted visitors connected with federal and environmental organizations for discussion of Jot Dean Ice Cave, Glass Mountain, Paynes Springs, Medicine Lake shoreline, and the Fall River Spring Complex. This remains a relationship and advocacy milestone, not a claim of a new legal protection this week.
The kickoff survey deadline has passed, but the larger planning work remains worth tracking as a community-resilience project. Use current OES/Tribal notices for the next participation point.

Items removed from active urgency so an older date does not look current.
The Alturas and Burney meetings have passed. The final listed meeting is September 16 at 6:00 PM in Round Mountain.
Source: Pit River Health Service
The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe Sacred Visions Pow-Wow and the September 12 California Indian Day event in Lakeport have passed and are no longer carried as upcoming events.
Bidwell Canyon Farm and Flying K Gardens stops have passed. The September 16–18 stops remain current above.
The Susanville session has passed. The supplied training flyer lists the Alturas session for September 16.
Core public sources were checked September 16, 2026. The weekly inbox contained no new files dated after September 9, so this issue carries forward still-relevant submitted flyers only where the date remains current and the item still belongs in the week.
What changed from Week 37: the PRHS Round Mountain community meeting, Pit River Greenhouse tour, Alturas wolf-management training, Burney TNAP pantry, September 22 language session, and September 18 buffalo webinar move into the active window. The Sacred Visions Pow-Wow, California Indian Day, September 11–12 PRHS meetings, and early Open Farm Week stops move to passed status.
Fresh status checks: Pit River Tribal Employment now lists GL Fund Accountant and Kwahn Board Member in addition to previously listed openings. Caltrans no longer lists the Adin-area SR 299 controls carried last week; its current report lists controls farther west in Humboldt and Trinity counties. CAL FIRE now lists the 4-1 Fire at 100% contained and 230 acres, last updated September 10.
Weather: NWS Sacramento identifies a slight chance of thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday over Shasta County and the southern Cascades, with lightning-related fire-weather concerns. Weather is moving information; use the newest local forecast before travel or outdoor work.
Flyers remain leads, not automatic authority. Where a supplied flyer and a live official source differ, the current official source controls. Regional event inclusion does not make an event an official Pit River program.
Moving information. Weather, roads, fires, jobs, pantry supply, registration, eligibility, event access, transportation, and legislative status can change after publication. Recheck the named source before acting.
