Former Yocha Dehe chairman dies of COVID-19
Marshall McKay, former chairman of the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, has died of COVID-19.

McKay, who was born in Colusa, served on the Yocha Dehe Tribal Council from 1984 to 2015 and spent a decade as chairman. During that time, the tribe was a key partner with Yolo County on a number of fronts and a benefactor to many local nonprofits.
