Old “Ukiah” – Pomo

Description

The Pomo formerly occupied about half the area of Mendocino, Sonoma, and Lake counties, besides a small isolated territory in Glenn and Colusa. The survivors are found in greatest number in the vicinity of the town of Ukiah. This name, though it is applied to the original portrait as a nickname, is a word of Pomo origin, from yo, south, and kaia, valley.
