As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

Those orders were downgraded to warnings on Sunday night, and by Monday morning, all evacuation warnings were lifted. The blaze is 40% contained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One structure was destroyed.

Her relationship with the woman had soured during the coronavirus pandemic after an argument exploded over using the kitchen. Things became so tense that Wright no longer felt safe leaving the room she shared with her boyfriend and her 4-year-old son. Space got even tighter after she gave birth to their son, Romeo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just wasn’t working and it was really stressful,” Wright said. “I just tried to stay positive as much as possible, because [kids] can feel your stress and when you’re unhappy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Stories From KQED's Homekey Series\" postID=\"news_11877000,news_11876745\"]Wright had lost her job as a resident assistant at an elder care home in early 2020. She was desperate for a better housing situation, but all the rentals she found were over $1,200 a month, which was out of her reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And when you have a family, it makes it really, really hard because you have to buy the food. You have to buy their clothes or diapers,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wright grew up in the Mendocino County city of Ukiah, three hours from Stockton. She longed to return to rural Northern California to be closer to the redwood trees, the mountains — and to her tribe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wright is Native American and an enrolled tribal member of the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians, and thought they might be able to help her find a new job and a pediatrician for her newborn. She reached out to her cousin, Joshua Ray, who is a social worker with the tribe, to see if he knew of any rooms opening up in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ray said he had something better: Her own two-bedroom apartment in Lakeport — across the street from Clear Lake — where the Scotts Valley tribe is headquartered. And at $450 a month, the rent was something she could afford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just felt blessed,” she said. “It really saved us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Wright moved in mid-February, she was one of the first residents at the 10-unit apartment complex. The goal is to eventually rent out all the units to tribal members who are currently homeless or at risk of losing their housing. The tribe estimates that about 33 of its 302 enrolled members fit into this category.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the second-floor deck of one of the units, you can see the edge of Clear Lake, once a rich resource for Pomo people to fish and hunt game. Tall tule reeds growing along the water’s edge were used to make baskets, boats and even entire homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The small apartment building, which the tribe just this week named the Sugar Bowl Apartments, was purchased and remodeled using funding from \u003ca href=\"https://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-funding/active-funding/homekey.shtml\">Homekey\u003c/a>, a statewide effort to quickly convert existing properties into temporary or permanent housing. Since launching in June 2020, the program has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11877000/californias-homekey-is-revolutionizing-homeless-housing-but-can-it-last\">created nearly 6,000 new units statewide\u003c/a> for people experiencing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Lake County project is one of three awarded to Northern California tribes during Homekey’s first year of funding. In Sonoma County, the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians are converting a Santa Rosa motel into 19 apartments for people who are chronically homeless. And in Humboldt County, the Yurok Tribe was awarded $2.2 million to purchase a Eureka motel and turn it into 18 units of permanent supportive housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11877618\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11877618 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49293_009_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49293_009_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut-1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49293_009_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49293_009_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49293_009_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49293_009_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joshua Ray, a social worker with the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians, inside an apartment in Lakeport on May 14, 2021 that’s being remodeled for new tenants. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ray oversees the management and renovation of the Lakeport complex. The units were run-down when the building was purchased last year, he says, and have since been renovated with a fresh coat of paint, laminate wood flooring, a new roof and new appliances — including air conditioning. He hopes the complex will become a small modern-day village, with Native people lifting each other up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The goal is for me to help you become better than you were when you moved in here. To get you a better job. You’re going to be saving money,” he said, money that could go toward a down payment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The need for more tribal housing to reduce homelessness becomes abundantly clear when reviewing the statistics. Nationally, \u003ca href=\"https://endhomelessness.org/homelessness-in-america/homelessness-statistics/state-of-homelessness-2020/\">Native Americans have the second-highest rate of homelessness\u003c/a> among all racial groups, behind Pacific Islanders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For American Indians living on reservation land, homelessness often translates into overcrowding. \u003ca href=\"https://www.huduser.gov/portal/sites/default/files/pdf/HNAIHousingNeeds.pdf\">A 2017 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development report\u003c/a> found 16% of tribal households were considered overcrowded, compared with only 2% of households nationwide. Without enough affordable, safe housing, two or three families sometimes live under one roof — like Wright did in Stockton — often a last resort before falling into street homelessness or staying at a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Lake County, Native Americans make up about 4% of the general population, but account for over 22% of the homeless population, according to the county’s 2021 \u003ca href=\"https://www.lakecoc.org/2021-pit-count-restults\">point-in-time homeless count\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have a big tribe, but we do have a tribe that doesn’t have housing,” said Ray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re also a tribe that doesn’t have land, he adds, which further exacerbates their housing challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>No Land, No Home\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The story of how the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians lost their land is rooted in our country’s origin story.

After a series of false promises and broken treaties, the federal government, in 1911, purchased a 56-acre parcel of land near Lakeport for the tribe to live on. But the Sugar Bowl Rancheria, as it was named, lacked water and basic utilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tribe then lost that land in 1965, when the government terminated its tribal status, along with that of over 100 other tribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around the same time, government relocation programs ushered Native people to cities, promising good housing and steady jobs. But that didn’t always happen, and some people disappeared into poverty or homelessness.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Patricia Franklin, member of the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians\"]‘It’s a tough thing when you don’t have a place to call home and lay your head. And I finally do at my house. But I want my tribe to have a home, too.’[/pullquote]As a result of these programs, about 70% of Scotts Valley tribal members had relocated to the Bay Area by the 1970s. After a years-long court battle, the tribe had their status restored in 1992, but their homeland was never replaced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very challenging because we don’t have a place to call home,” said Patricia Franklin, a Scotts Valley tribal member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Scotts Valley is a landless tribe, its members are spread out across Alameda, Contra Costa, Lake, Mendocino and Sonoma counties. Many members live about two hours away from the tribe’s offices in Lakeport, making it difficult to have centralized health and housing services and stay united as a community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Native people, being homeless takes on a whole different meaning when you consider the legacy of racism, colonialism and land theft, says Colleen Echohawk, founder of the National Coalition to End Urban Indigenous Homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can trace it back to the very first moments of colonization in this country,” she said, noting that there were no Native homeless people before Europeans arrived in 1492.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The folks that were coming into the West were like, ‘Hey, we want this land,’ ” she said. “And they moved us all into reservations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arrival of European settlers brought diseases, forced assimilation and violent massacres of Native communities. Echohawk says many Native people today are still traumatized and distrustful of government involvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve worked with elders who for years stuck outside, slept in tents, but did not want to go anywhere near a shelter. That’s because it triggered the trauma of boarding schools, those institutionalized systems that harmed them,” she said, referring to the Indian boarding schools that many Native children were sent to as part of the government’s drive to forcibly assimilate them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11875075\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11875075 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A plaque on the site of the Bloody Island massacre near Upper Lake, California.

Today, many Scotts Valley tribal members are plagued by poverty, depression and substance abuse, says Gabriel Ray, Joshua Ray’s uncle, who sits on the Scotts Valley tribal council. More than half of the tribe’s members are currently unemployed, he notes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of our members don’t even realize that their life has been so affected by historical trauma,” Gabriel Ray said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tribal member Patricia Franklin, Gabriel Ray’s sister, knows this firsthand.

She was desperate for a better housing situation, but all the rentals she found were over $1,200 a month, which was out of her reach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And when you have a family, it makes it really, really hard because you have to buy the food. You have to buy their clothes or diapers,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wright grew up in the Mendocino County city of Ukiah, three hours from Stockton. She longed to return to rural Northern California to be closer to the redwood trees, the mountains — and to her tribe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wright is Native American and an enrolled tribal member of the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians, and thought they might be able to help her find a new job and a pediatrician for her newborn. She reached out to her cousin, Joshua Ray, who is a social worker with the tribe, to see if he knew of any rooms opening up in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ray said he had something better: Her own two-bedroom apartment in Lakeport — across the street from Clear Lake — where the Scotts Valley tribe is headquartered. And at $450 a month, the rent was something she could afford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just felt blessed,” she said. “It really saved us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Wright moved in mid-February, she was one of the first residents at the 10-unit apartment complex. The goal is to eventually rent out all the units to tribal members who are currently homeless or at risk of losing their housing. The tribe estimates that about 33 of its 302 enrolled members fit into this category.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the second-floor deck of one of the units, you can see the edge of Clear Lake, once a rich resource for Pomo people to fish and hunt game. Tall tule reeds growing along the water’s edge were used to make baskets, boats and even entire homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The small apartment building, which the tribe just this week named the Sugar Bowl Apartments, was purchased and remodeled using funding from \u003ca href=\"https://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-funding/active-funding/homekey.shtml\">Homekey\u003c/a>, a statewide effort to quickly convert existing properties into temporary or permanent housing. Since launching in June 2020, the program has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11877000/californias-homekey-is-revolutionizing-homeless-housing-but-can-it-last\">created nearly 6,000 new units statewide\u003c/a> for people experiencing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Lake County project is one of three awarded to Northern California tribes during Homekey’s first year of funding. In Sonoma County, the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians are converting a Santa Rosa motel into 19 apartments for people who are chronically homeless. And in Humboldt County, the Yurok Tribe was awarded $2.2 million to purchase a Eureka motel and turn it into 18 units of permanent supportive housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11877618\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11877618 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49293_009_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49293_009_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut-1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49293_009_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49293_009_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49293_009_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49293_009_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joshua Ray, a social worker with the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians, inside an apartment in Lakeport on May 14, 2021 that’s being remodeled for new tenants. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ray oversees the management and renovation of the Lakeport complex. The units were run-down when the building was purchased last year, he says, and have since been renovated with a fresh coat of paint, laminate wood flooring, a new roof and new appliances — including air conditioning. He hopes the complex will become a small modern-day village, with Native people lifting each other up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The goal is for me to help you become better than you were when you moved in here. To get you a better job. You’re going to be saving money,” he said, money that could go toward a down payment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The need for more tribal housing to reduce homelessness becomes abundantly clear when reviewing the statistics. Nationally, \u003ca href=\"https://endhomelessness.org/homelessness-in-america/homelessness-statistics/state-of-homelessness-2020/\">Native Americans have the second-highest rate of homelessness\u003c/a> among all racial groups, behind Pacific Islanders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For American Indians living on reservation land, homelessness often translates into overcrowding. \u003ca href=\"https://www.huduser.gov/portal/sites/default/files/pdf/HNAIHousingNeeds.pdf\">A 2017 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development report\u003c/a> found 16% of tribal households were considered overcrowded, compared with only 2% of households nationwide. Without enough affordable, safe housing, two or three families sometimes live under one roof — like Wright did in Stockton — often a last resort before falling into street homelessness or staying at a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Lake County, Native Americans make up about 4% of the general population, but account for over 22% of the homeless population, according to the county’s 2021 \u003ca href=\"https://www.lakecoc.org/2021-pit-count-restults\">point-in-time homeless count\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have a big tribe, but we do have a tribe that doesn’t have housing,” said Ray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re also a tribe that doesn’t have land, he adds, which further exacerbates their housing challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>No Land, No Home\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The story of how the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians lost their land is rooted in our country’s origin story. It’s a history of disenfranchisement, relocation and assimilation forged by European settlers and the federal government, with the goal of eliminating tribes and erasing native culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11877627\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11877627 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49358_086_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49358_086_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49358_086_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49358_086_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49358_086_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/06/RS49358_086_LakeCounty_ProjectHomekey_05142021-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pomo dancers perform during a tribal youth event in Upper Lake, California, on May 14, 2021. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But two government policies, in particular, were most harmful to Ray’s tribe: the termination of tribal status and the voluntary relocation of Native people off their reservation and into urban cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For centuries, the Scotts Valley tribe roamed from the mountains surrounding Clear Lake to the Pacific coast and down to San Pablo Bay. After a series of false promises and broken treaties, the federal government, in 1911, purchased a 56-acre parcel of land near Lakeport for the tribe to live on. But the Sugar Bowl Rancheria, as it was named, lacked water and basic utilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tribe then lost that land in 1965, when the government terminated its tribal status, along with that of over 100 other tribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around the same time, government relocation programs ushered Native people to cities, promising good housing and steady jobs. But that didn’t always happen, and some people disappeared into poverty or homelessness.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

After a years-long court battle, the tribe had their status restored in 1992, but their homeland was never replaced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very challenging because we don’t have a place to call home,” said Patricia Franklin, a Scotts Valley tribal member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Scotts Valley is a landless tribe, its members are spread out across Alameda, Contra Costa, Lake, Mendocino and Sonoma counties. Many members live about two hours away from the tribe’s offices in Lakeport, making it difficult to have centralized health and housing services and stay united as a community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Native people, being homeless takes on a whole different meaning when you consider the legacy of racism, colonialism and land theft, says Colleen Echohawk, founder of the National Coalition to End Urban Indigenous Homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can trace it back to the very first moments of colonization in this country,” she said, noting that there were no Native homeless people before Europeans arrived in 1492.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The folks that were coming into the West were like, ‘Hey, we want this land,’ ” she said. “And they moved us all into reservations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arrival of European settlers brought diseases, forced assimilation and violent massacres of Native communities. Echohawk says many Native people today are still traumatized and distrustful of government involvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve worked with elders who for years stuck outside, slept in tents, but did not want to go anywhere near a shelter. That’s because it triggered the trauma of boarding schools, those institutionalized systems that harmed them,” she said, referring to the Indian boarding schools that many Native children were sent to as part of the government’s drive to forcibly assimilate them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11875075\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11875075 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A plaque on the site of the Bloody Island massacre near Upper Lake, California.

He’s 70, and he remembers his great-grandmother, Lucy Moore, who lived until 110.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do the math, and you can see how Duncan heard stories as a child about her firsthand experience surviving a massacre in 1850.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore was one of the few who lived to recount what happened when the U.S. Army slaughtered a group of Pomo Indians on May 15, 1850, at an island known as Bonopoti. Pomo gathered at the island in Lake County to fish and collect medicine and plants. While U.S. soldiers murdered hundreds of men, women and children, 6-year-old Moore hid under the water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duncan says she survived because of a hide-and-seek game Pomo kids used to play, hiding under the water and breathing through hollowed-out reeds. And that’s what she did, until she came up hours later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She saw all her cousins and grandpas and grandmas, they’re all just laying there dead. The water was all just full of blood,” Duncan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attack was in retaliation for the deaths of Andrew Kelsey and Charles Stone, white cattle ranchers who were notoriously cruel to the native population. They forced Pomo to work as laborers on their ranch. Native people were often starved and beat, sometimes even strung up from trees as a form of torture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Clayton Duncan\"]“My mother would ask me, ‘Why are you always walking around here mad? Let me tell you about Grandma. She used to pray, and she forgave those people, and she lived through it.'”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all came to a head after Kelsey lashed a young Pomo boy 100 times, then shot him, allegedly for flirting with a Pomo woman Kelsey kept on his property as a concubine. Exasperated with the violence and oppression, Pomo men murdered Kelsey and Stone soon after.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, the U.S. military retaliated. A regiment of the 1st Dragoons of the U.S. Cavalry, commanded by Capt. Nathaniel Lyon and Lt. J.W. Davidson, massacred nearly the entire native population of the island. (You may recognize Lyon’s name — he’s the first Union general to be killed in the Civil War, and there’s a famous street named after him in San Francisco.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the place once known as Bonopoti is called Bloody Island. The water and marshes have been drained. All that’s left is a grassy hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the side of Highway 20 in Lake County, there’s a commemorative plaque that explains how Bloody Island got its name.

Davidson … with orders to proceed against the Clear Lake Indians, and exterminate if possible the tribe. The troops arrived in the vicinity of the Lake, and came unexpectedly upon a body of Indians numbering between two and three hundred. Little or no resistance was encountered, and the work of butchery was of short duration. The shrieks of the slaughtered victims died away, the roar of muskets that ceased, and stretched lifeless upon the sod of their native valley were the bleeding bodies of these Indians — or sex, nor age was spared; it was the order of extermination fearfully obeyed.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But history was rewritten just three days later in the same newspaper, after a military officer questioned the original story.

Pomo gathered at the island in Lake County to fish and collect medicine and plants. While U.S. soldiers murdered hundreds of men, women and children, 6-year-old Moore hid under the water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Duncan says she survived because of a hide-and-seek game Pomo kids used to play, hiding under the water and breathing through hollowed-out reeds.

The water was all just full of blood,” Duncan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attack was in retaliation for the deaths of Andrew Kelsey and Charles Stone, white cattle ranchers who were notoriously cruel to the native population.

The troops arrived in the vicinity of the Lake, and came unexpectedly upon a body of Indians numbering between two and three hundred. Little or no resistance was encountered, and the work of butchery was of short duration.

Here’s what \u003ca href=\"https://cdnc.ucr.edu/?a=d&d=DAC18500601.2.3&srpos=2&e=------185-en--20--1--txt-txIN-clear+lake+massacre----1850---1\">the new version said\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“A party of Indians, living in and about the Sonoma district, after committing many murders and other outrages, in November last fled to Clear Lake … This they have made their abode ever since, setting the troops at defiance and maintaining an attitude of hostility towards all the whites … The men advanced in boats and were received with a shower of arrows. In the combat, many of the soldiers were seriously wounded, and a number of the Indians killed. The statement that women and children were massacred, is wholly unfounded.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That history was echoed in 1942, when \u003ca href=\"https://nsgw.org/benefits-of-the-native-sons/\">The Native Sons of the Golden West\u003c/a> — known for commemorating the Gold Rush, California’s entry into statehood and the deeds of white California “pioneers” — put up a tiny plaque on a rock near the hillside.

"content": "\u003cp>There’s only one community radio station in Lake County: \u003ca href=\"http://kpfz.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">KPFZ\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The station is run almost entirely by volunteers. Most of the hosts are retirees who have call-in shows dealing with local topics, from LGBT issues in the county to “Senior Moments,” a show that “features topics of interest to seniors.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in recent years, the station has taken on a whole new role in the community: reporting on fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lake County has been hit by wildfire after wildfire in the last decade, and KPFZ’s volunteers have gone from hosting music shows to covering those wildfires. The switch happened after one phone call in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The call came in early one mid-August morning. KPFZ station manager Andy Weiss was hosting a music show. The phone rang in the studio, and Weiss picked up, thinking someone was calling in about the music he was playing. It wasn’t about the music. The person was reporting a fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weiss broke into his programming to report the fire. The caller said the fire was up Highway 20, and as soon as Weiss got off the phone, someone else called with more information. Then another person called and another. Weiss stayed put and kept taking calls. The phone lines were busy for the next 10 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That phone call came at the start of the \u003ca href=\"http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/incidents/incidents_details_info?incident_id=707\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wye Fire\u003c/a>, which burned almost 8,000 acres and destroyed three buildings. It was the first time the station had taken a live, all-day, call-in approach to covering a fire. Now, it’s standard protocol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whenever there’s a fire, KPFZ goes to a live call-in format. Hosts of the station’s various programs come in to take turns on the air. In addition to trying to answer callers’ questions and broadcasting observations of what people are seeing, the hosts also relay information from officials, like local county supervisors and Cal Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big part of the job during the fires is separating fact from fiction. People call in with false information—something they saw on social media or heard from a neighbor. There has been a steep learning curve for how to filter all this information during a live show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only Weiss had any substantial experience as a reporter for radio. He said the station made mistakes at first, including passing along incorrect information, but Weiss said the station has gotten better with every fire. This year, they covered the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fire.ca.gov/current_incidents/incidentdetails/Index/2175\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mendocino Complex Fire\u003c/a>, California’s largest on record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This last fire was really our best job filtering information,” Weiss said. “A lot of us are really seasoned now.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But sifting through and presenting information is just part of the service KPFZ provides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weiss said many of the callers feel isolated and are seeking solidarity. They call in to connect with other people who are going through the same things they are going through. At its best, the call-in program can bring the community together and be a comforting, calming voice amid all the chaos, Weiss said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KPFZ now has a show all about fire recovery because of how many fires there have been in recent years. It’s hosted by Betsy Cawn, who is one of the most avid volunteer fire reporters at the station. It was hard to meet with Cawn during the fires so Weiss told me to call and have the engineer patch me in during her show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cawn told me there aren’t many places for locals in Lake County to turn to for information. Like in much of rural America, local media has taken a financial hit since the rise of the internet. There’s only a single newspaper, a public access TV channel and one news website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the fires “people had no other resource,” Cawn said. “They discovered KPFZ on the radio, and they were so grateful that there was someplace that was providing timely updates.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After fires, community members have been asking for the radio station’s address to send in donations. The station isn’t asking for it, but people wanted to send money because they knew the operation was being run on a tiny budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well over half of Lake County has burned since the Wye fire in 2012, and the county was already struggling before the spike in fires. Like many of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11691065/string-of-fires-in-northern-california-may-worsen-poverty-for-years-to-come\">Northern California counties\u003c/a> hit hard by fires in recent years, Lake County has one of the highest poverty rates in the state. Resources for anything, including a radio station, are scarce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KPFZ is run out of an old Victorian home off the main street in Lakeport. When Andy Weiss showed me around, he apologized for the messy office. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our last thought is making money,” Weiss said. “It’s making radio. That’s first and foremost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11698597\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/kpfz2-1020x765.jpg\" alt=\"KPFZ station manager Andy Weiss holds up a pirate flag.\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11698597\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">KPFZ station manager Andy Weiss holds up a pirate flag. \u003ccite>(Sam Harnett/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The station is sparsely decorated, but it has the staples of a community radio station. There’s a poster of Bob Marley and one from the film “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman.” In one corner, there’s also a big pirate flag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is hard to find around the station is equipment for reporting in the field. KPFZ only has two recording kits. Weiss wishes he had money to hire some journalists and start a paid news team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He showed me a room filled with empty boxes and old radios. This is where the reporters would sit, he told me. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we ever have a newsroom, this will be it,” Weiss said. “That’s kind of a dream here: to have daily news, a news team.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The entire station is run on a budget of $50,000 a year. He asked me if I would consider moving to Lake County. Weiss said he could offer a news director something like $400 a month, but so far there haven’t been any takers for the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, KPFZ is going to keep on with what it started doing in 2012: being a service for those who need it in times of crisis.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Most of the hosts are retirees who have call-in shows dealing with local topics, from LGBT issues in the county to “Senior Moments,” a show that “features topics of interest to seniors.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in recent years, the station has taken on a whole new role in the community: reporting on fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lake County has been hit by wildfire after wildfire in the last decade, and KPFZ’s volunteers have gone from hosting music shows to covering those wildfires. The switch happened after one phone call in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The call came in early one mid-August morning. KPFZ station manager Andy Weiss was hosting a music show. The phone rang in the studio, and Weiss picked up, thinking someone was calling in about the music he was playing. It wasn’t about the music. The person was reporting a fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weiss broke into his programming to report the fire. The caller said the fire was up Highway 20, and as soon as Weiss got off the phone, someone else called with more information. Then another person called and another. Weiss stayed put and kept taking calls. The phone lines were busy for the next 10 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That phone call came at the start of the \u003ca href=\"http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/incidents/incidents_details_info?incident_id=707\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wye Fire\u003c/a>, which burned almost 8,000 acres and destroyed three buildings. It was the first time the station had taken a live, all-day, call-in approach to covering a fire. Now, it’s standard protocol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whenever there’s a fire, KPFZ goes to a live call-in format. Hosts of the station’s various programs come in to take turns on the air. In addition to trying to answer callers’ questions and broadcasting observations of what people are seeing, the hosts also relay information from officials, like local county supervisors and Cal Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big part of the job during the fires is separating fact from fiction. People call in with false information—something they saw on social media or heard from a neighbor. There has been a steep learning curve for how to filter all this information during a live show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only Weiss had any substantial experience as a reporter for radio. He said the station made mistakes at first, including passing along incorrect information, but Weiss said the station has gotten better with every fire. This year, they covered the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fire.ca.gov/current_incidents/incidentdetails/Index/2175\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mendocino Complex Fire\u003c/a>, California’s largest on record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This last fire was really our best job filtering information,” Weiss said. “A lot of us are really seasoned now.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But sifting through and presenting information is just part of the service KPFZ provides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weiss said many of the callers feel isolated and are seeking solidarity. They call in to connect with other people who are going through the same things they are going through. At its best, the call-in program can bring the community together and be a comforting, calming voice amid all the chaos, Weiss said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KPFZ now has a show all about fire recovery because of how many fires there have been in recent years. It’s hosted by Betsy Cawn, who is one of the most avid volunteer fire reporters at the station. It was hard to meet with Cawn during the fires so Weiss told me to call and have the engineer patch me in during her show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cawn told me there aren’t many places for locals in Lake County to turn to for information. Like in much of rural America, local media has taken a financial hit since the rise of the internet. There’s only a single newspaper, a public access TV channel and one news website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the fires “people had no other resource,” Cawn said. “They discovered KPFZ on the radio, and they were so grateful that there was someplace that was providing timely updates.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After fires, community members have been asking for the radio station’s address to send in donations. The station isn’t asking for it, but people wanted to send money because they knew the operation was being run on a tiny budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well over half of Lake County has burned since the Wye fire in 2012, and the county was already struggling before the spike in fires. Like many of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11691065/string-of-fires-in-northern-california-may-worsen-poverty-for-years-to-come\">Northern California counties\u003c/a> hit hard by fires in recent years, Lake County has one of the highest poverty rates in the state. Resources for anything, including a radio station, are scarce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KPFZ is run out of an old Victorian home off the main street in Lakeport. When Andy Weiss showed me around, he apologized for the messy office. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our last thought is making money,” Weiss said. “It’s making radio. That’s first and foremost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11698597\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/kpfz2-1020x765.jpg\" alt=\"KPFZ station manager Andy Weiss holds up a pirate flag.\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11698597\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">KPFZ station manager Andy Weiss holds up a pirate flag. \u003ccite>(Sam Harnett/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The station is sparsely decorated, but it has the staples of a community radio station. There’s a poster of Bob Marley and one from the film “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman.” In one corner, there’s also a big pirate flag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is hard to find around the station is equipment for reporting in the field. KPFZ only has two recording kits. Weiss wishes he had money to hire some journalists and start a paid news team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He showed me a room filled with empty boxes and old radios. This is where the reporters would sit, he told me. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we ever have a newsroom, this will be it,” Weiss said. “That’s kind of a dream here: to have daily news, a news team.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The entire station is run on a budget of $50,000 a year. He asked me if I would consider moving to Lake County. Weiss said he could offer a news director something like $400 a month, but so far there haven’t been any takers for the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, KPFZ is going to keep on with what it started doing in 2012: being a service for those who need it in times of crisis.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
