The '''Okwanuchu''' were one of a number of small [[Shastan languages|Shastan]] speaking tribes in [[Northern California]], who were closely related to the adjacent larger [[Shasta (tribe)|Shasta]] tribe. The Okwanuchu occupied territory south and southeast of [[Mount Shasta|Mount Shasta]], California, [[United States|USA]], including the present-day cities of [[Mount Shasta, California]] and [[Dunsmuir, California]], the upper [[Sacramento River]] and the upper [[McCloud River]], south to the north Salt Creek drainage and east to the Squaw Valley Creek drainage. Anthropologist [[ Alfred L. Kroeber]] suggested in 1918 that the Okwanuchu had become extinct. Although their language was closely related to that of the Shasta, it contained some elements of [[Wintu]] and [[Achomawi]]. Very little is known about the ___location of their villages and settlements, or about their culture, other than a presumed similarity to their Shasta language-speaking neighbors.
The following represents the placement of the tribal lines suggested by [[Alfred L. Kroeber]] onto a modern relief map. [[Image:Okwanuchu_Tribal_Territory.jpg]]
