Cloverdale Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California
Eighty years ago, 12 families of landless and homeless Pomo Indians were alloted 27 acres on the southern edge of Cloverdale. Our journey to the present has been a difficult one.
Basket weavers by tradition, unable to read or write english, our ancestors were relegated to low paying, menial work. The reservation was too remote for retail stores, and its shale and adobe soil defeated the orchards and vineyards planted by the Tribe. Some members began small businesses, but these didnt come close to meeting the needs of the entire Tribe.
In time, a city dump was placed on the reservation's northern border, devaluing the property and endangering the health of tribal families. Finally in 1989 the new Highway 101 cut the reservation in half.
Today, tribal unemployment stands at 40%; few families have adequate health insurance and almost none have the means to send our children to college. Yet our desire for self-reliance is still strong...and our hope for the future is brighter than ever.
