	Pomo
		Pomo is a word believed to be derived from Poma, the village name given by anthropologists at the beginning of the century. The Pomo originated in California and were divided into three regions, the coast, the valley, and the lake regions of northern, central and southern California.
		The northern Pomo are named the Bokeya, the central are the Yokiya, and the southern Pomo are the Kashia.
		The Pomo had two ceremonial rituals including the “Ghost Dance,” during which the dead were recognized and the “Far South,” which was a rite of passage for children of the tribe.

		Meanwhile, the Pomo, especially those in the fertile, well-watered lands at the south of their country, were rounded up in what descendants describe as "death marches" and interned at Fort Bragg to the north, and Covelo, (Round Valley).
		The Pomo could not always return to their traditional villages, because these wre often on the best locations in the area, and had been taken by whites -- so the escapees tended to resettle on the isolated outskirts -- usually poor, arid land.
		For the Pomos, land was purchased in Lake, Sonoma, and Mendocino counties (i.e.

		The tribe is so poor that since being restored as a sovereign nation in 1991 it has had to hold its tribal meetings in community centers and stage its traditionally private ceremonials in public parks.
		Tribes that might have loved to acquire land in or near San Francisco or Los Angeles and have it declared a "reservation" for casino purposes were precluded from doing so.

	Joer v. Hopland Band of Pomo Indians
		The court held that the Tribe had not waived its sovereign immunity, by entering into an contract containing an arbitration clause, and agreeing to the application of California law, because a Tribal ordinance provided that its sovereign immunity could only be waived by an ordinance or resolution of the Tribal Council explicitly waiving immunity.
		Potawatomi Tribe (1991) 498 U.S. 505-509.) The Court, instead, held the contract language was unambiguous, and by agreeing to submit all disputes to arbitration, to enforcement in any court of competent jurisdiction, and accepting Oklahoma law as the law governing the contract, the tribe had clearly and explicitly waived its sovereign immunity.
		The Tribe did not file a motion to compel arbitration in the proceedings below, and nothing in this opinion should be construed, on remand, to waive that defense, or any other defense the Tribe may have, including failure to exhaust the administrative claims procedure established by the Tribal ordinance.
