Pomo Tribe

The Pomo Indians, part of the Kulanapan linguistic stock, primarily inhabit areas in California’s Sonoma, Lake, Mendocino, Colusa, and Glenn Counties. Their territory includes the Russian River Valley and parts of the Sacramento Valley, marked by distinct dialects. Renowned for their exceptional basketry, the Pomo resemble other north-central Californian tribes in stature and culture. While largely unaffected by early Franciscan missions, their population today stands around 800, living primarily in their ancestral lands and engaging in farming. Pomo society lacks distinct tribes, being organized instead into villages.
