Habematolel dance house c.1900
The Museums of Lake County and the Tribal Advisory Council to the Museums are in partnership to erect a life-size bronze sculpture that will feature a Pomo Indian Family embracing the bonds of love, family, and resiliency in dance.
The County of Lake Supervisors by an approval vote of 5-0 on July 10th will provide a site in the Historic Courthouse Museum Park. This central location makes an ideal place to commemorate the heritage of the Lake Pomo people.
The Museums of Lake County have applied for state grants to help fund the improvement of Museum Park including the Lake Pomo Statue project.
