California Pomo Indians At Home Real Photo Postcard

William and Mary Poma, identified as members of the Poma (Pomo) Native American people, were captured in Pasadena, California, in April 1927. The Pomo are indigenous to Northern California, with their traditional territories historically encompassing parts of present-day Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake counties. Their presence in Southern California, specifically Pasadena, highlights the broader trend of Native American migration from ancestral lands, often driven by economic necessity, displacement, or the search for new opportunities during the early 20th century.
