 TNB->Pomo Indians: Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians of California
Posted on Friday, July 20 @ 20:22:44 PDT

Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians of California... KEYWORDS: pomo indians coyote valley band of pomo indians california indians

The Coyote Valley Reservation is approximately 70 acres and is located in Mendocino County, California. The Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians Tribal Membership is comprised of 325 enrolled members. Of that number, about 170 reside on the reservation.

StumbleUpon Toolbar Stumble It!

The Pomo people are from northwestern California, where they still occupy their ancestral lands. They are derived from seven culturally similar but politically independent villages or tribelets. Pomo-speaking people have traditionally occupied land about 50 miles north of San Francisco Bay, on the coast and inland, especially around Clear Lake and the Russian River, in what is now Mendocino , Sonoma, and Lake counties.

They had seven related but mutually unintelligible languages belonging to the Hokan language family. Along the Pacific coast they fished and gathered shellfish, relying secondarily on acorns and game. Along the rivers they caught king salmon and also ate acorns and game. In the early 19th century, there were roughly 15,000 Pomo.

Today there are approximately 5,000 Pomo people and their descendants live on or near the rancherias of Big Valley, Cloverdale, Dry Creek, Grindstone, Guidiville, Hopland, Lytton, Manchester-Point Arena, Middletown, Pinoleville, Potter Valley, Redwood Valley, Robinson, Scotts Valley, Sherwood Valley, Stewarts Point, and Upper Lake, and on the Coyote Valley and Round Valley reservations. About 140 Pomo also live on the Sulphur Bank Rancheria/Elem Indian Colony.

There were an estimated 300,000 to 400,000 California Indians around the middle of the 18th century when the Europeans arrived in the new world. Due to contact with the Spanish and other Europeans in the region, and the introduction of diseases and warfare, the population in the region of Native Americans fell by more than 90%, from upward of 200,000 in the mid-19th century to roughly 15,000, within the span of a generation or two. By 1915, their population had been reduced to just 16,000.

The Pomo languase is actually seven mutually unintelligible Pomoan (Hokan) languages, including Southern Pomo, Central Pomo, Northern Pomo, Eastern Pomo, Northeastern Pomo, Southeastern Pomo, and Southwestern Pomo (Kashaya).
