  4. Housing • The Pomo’s house was built with redwood trees. It was round, covered with grass, and it is called a roundhouse. • There are beds and a fireplace in the house. • They had a sky light on the top of their roof

  5. History Tribe • In the early 1800’s the Pomo were close allies with the Russian fur traders and always traded items between the two camps. The Russian fur traders believed having Indians on their side was an advantage. During the 1830’s and 1840’s they were subjected to many raids by the Mexican camps who attempted to secure slaves.

  6. Culture of the Tribe • Lidded "Trinket" Baskets were a post-contact innovation in northwestern California. They were made primarily for sale to European collectors.
