The XL Ranch is an Indian reservation located in Modoc County, north of Burney, California.[1]

It is home to the Pit River Tribe, a federally recognized tribe, which includes 9 bands of Achomawi Indians[2] and 2 bands of Atsugewi Indians.

The XL Ranch is sometimes known as XL Rancheria, XL Ranch Indian Reservation, or X-L Ranch Reservation.

The reservation was established in 1938 and is 9,255 acres (3,745 ha).[2] Approximately 40 tribal members live on the reservation.[1]

Language

The band traditionally spoke the Achumawi and Atsugewi languages, which are closely related. They are part of the Palaihnihan branch of the Hokan language family.[1] Some members of XL Ranch speak the Northern Paiute language, a Western Numic language of the Uto-Aztecan language family.[3]

Today

The Pit River Indian Tribe is headquartered in Burney, California.[4]

Tribal members often find employment in logging and hay ranching.[2]

In 2015, federal agents busted a large marijuana grow. The grow had been started in partnership with a Canadian company, but was disputed between the two direct descendents of the Pit River tribe, siblings Phillip Del Rosa and Wendy Del Rosa. [5] [6]
