The Pomo Indians lived a very civilized life. The Pomo had a lot of variety in their diet, they ate fish, berries, many kinds of nuts such as acorns, also shellfish, seaweed, seals, deer, elk, small animals and more. But as any other indians they fished, hunted,and gathered. The Pomo's houses were cone shaped, and made of redwood bark, with poles that came together at the top. But only one family could fit inside one of these small huts. But the ones who lived farther inland had a different kind of house, they made a frame of wood which they covered with grasses, brush, stems, and plants many families lived in one of these houses at a time. Most of the Pomo lived inland, near the Russian River, and Clear Lake, north of San Francisco Bay, where they had plenty of clean water, and a place to fish. All of the Pomo agree that living in the coastal region is life changing. The Pomo were most famous for there tight woven baskets, that they decorated with shells and feathers. The Pomo's baskets were so tightly woven the collected water in it! The Pomo trimmed pine and oak trees to produce acorns and pine nuts. Over all The Pomo Indian tribe is a very resourceful California Native American tribe.
