There are 2800 people enrolled in the pueblo. Most live in or near the village, though they can live anywhere else in the world. One hundred older members live in the village and have no modern conveniences like electricity or plumbing.

The Red Willow Creek runs through the pueblo and is an all purpose provider of water for washing, cooking and drinking. There are no pumps so the water is carried in buckets to each home. The source of the creek is the Blue Lake up in the mountains. This area is sacred to the people.

In 1905 President Theodore Roosevelt took control of the lake and surrounding land, forbidding the pueblo members to go there. Under the “Freedom of Religion Act,” President Richard Nixon returned the land to the people and they continue to treat it as sacred land.

Many of the buildings in the old section of the village are shops filled with jewelry and artifacts created by members of the pueblo.
