Mendo Lake Family Life

Experience Native Pomo Culture

The Pomo tribe lived in what is now Lake County way before any European did. Now many tribe members reside in the Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California, which runs Twin Pine Casino. To share some of their ancient culture, the tribe hosts an annual Indian Day Celebration, which features an opening prayer, traditional dances, free Native cuisine, handmade crafts, and kids’ activities. The event will be held on September 16, noon–5 p.m., at Twin Pine Casino in Middletown. Admission is free. See twinpine.com/event/indian-days for more information.
