Frequently Asked Questions
Can anyone go into Ya-Ka-Ama?

I heard that the Board of Directors was selling Ya-Ka-Ama acreage to IHS for a Youth Facility, is this true?
No this is not true. This was something that a previous board had plans to do, the current board does not have the desire to sell any of the acreage at Ya-Ka-Ama. This was voted upon at a meeting of the YaKa-Ama membership.
Does the board have plans to put a vineyard on Ya-Ka-Ama?
