The Hopland Band of Pomo Indians of the Hopland Rancheria is a federally recognized tribe of Pomo people in Mendocino County, California, south of Ukiah.[2] The Hopland Band Pomos traditionally lived in the Sanel Valley.[3]
The Hopland Pomo's reservation is the Hopland Rancheria. Approximately 700 tribal members live in the area and 50 on the ranchería.[2] The Rancheria was established in 1907 and is 40acres large.[4] It is located about 3miles east of Hopland, California.
The Hopland Pomo ratified their constitution on August 20, 1981, which established a governing 7-person council.
The tribe conducts business from Hopland, California.[5]
The Hopland Band of Pomo Indians has a tribal education program, EPA office, health department, utility department, police department, court system, and economic development corporation.[6] The tribe owns and operates the Hopland Sho-Ka-Wah Casino, located east of Hopland.[3]
In 2016, the Hopland Band disenrolled 74 members of the tribe, ostensibly to remedy mistakes stemming from faulty processing of applications.[7]
