Sa’ Cumn’e Plaza

Sa’ Cumn’e means “Big House” in the Miwok Language

And was an early name for the Sacramento area

This plaza is dedicated to the Native Americans

who walked this land before us and inspire current

generations to carry forth their traditions.

From Placer County to Yosemite and Mount Diablo

(Spirit Mountain) to the Sierra Range, the Miwok

gathered to live, hunt and fish.

Where you now stand was once a large village.

Analysis of the artifacts uncovered here established

that this location has been inhabited for the last

8500 years.

Marker can be reached from I Street, on the right when traveling west.
