Nestled along the Russian River between Healdsburg and Cloverdale, the Alexander Valley of Northern California has a rich history of growing and harvesting grapes for wine. The Pomo Indians, who are not one tribe but rather a group of more than 70 different tribes, have ties to the Alexander Valley that date back as far as 12,000 years ago. Descendants of these early inhabitants are now members of the Dry Creek Band of Pomo Indians.
Historically, the Pomo Indians had a rich and affluent culture. They relied on several hundred regional plants and animals for food with their primary harvest being acorns. Through the creation of intricate basketry the Pomo were able to gather food and amongst other things, supply cradles for babies.
Tribal members also designed ornate jewelry for tribal celebrations and used the pieces as a means for trade. In addition to jewelry, shaped clamshells were produced as a source of money and were traded. Perhaps it was this affinity for trading that attracted the migrating Russians.
Casino profits are helping the Tribe provide its people with a better quality of life while restoring their rich cultural heritage. New opportunities are becoming available for the Tribe that once were unimaginable. The Pomo are now able to provide better housing for tribal members, generate funding for improved education and invest in the future of their youth by assisting in college educations, as well as sustaining better elder care and child health care.
Additionally, the tribe has committed to making a positive impact in the local community - enhancing the economy by providing jobs, supporting local organizations and working with agencies to improve local infrastructure. By capitalizing on the casino's available resources the tribe has been able to donate to local schools and fire departments and maintains long lasting relationships with their neighbors.
