The Hopland Band of Pomo Indians Reservation is located in the rolling hills of Mendocino County in Northern California. The Hopland Reservation is nestled in the heart of wine country, 90 miles North of San Francisco, California; 13 miles South of Ukiah, California and approximately four miles East of Highway 101 on State Highway 175. The Hopland Reservation originally established by the U.S. Department of the Interior on May 18, 1907 encompasses 3.23 square miles (approximately 2,080 acres) of steep terrain, orchards, vineyards, housing, and businesses. The Hopland Band of Pomo Indians has nine hundred (900) enrolled members including one-hundred sixty-nine (169) enrolled member children under the age of eighteen (18). Tribal Enrollment has grown each year since the BIA listed tribal enrollment at 737 members in 2005, according to the American Indian Population and Labor Force Report. The Hopland Reservation includes approximately 65 housing units. The population of the Hopland community is 1,193. In addition 50 tribal employees work on the Reservation. The population on the Reservation, including all people who enter the boundaries of the Reservation, employees of the Tribe, and during special events throughout the year can reach up to three-thousand three-hundred forty-four (3,344) people per day. Due to the community circumstances such as lack of healthy tribal community activities for ages up to 24, transportation to local actives/ programs/events, youth programs and un-healthy lifestyle choices among the community this has led to wide spread addiction in young children. Among the tribal youth that live on or near the Rancheria, there is a serious drug and alcohol problem and limited services to offer them other than our resources from Consolidated Tribal Health and Mendocino County Services. Although, there is a known problem in the community and it is recognized among the leadership in the Tribe as a problem and priority in solving this problem has been directed to the Hopland Tribal Health Department. The funding of the application will help to conduct a Community Needs Assessment and develop an Action Plan that will guide the implementation of the prevention strategies for the tribal youth located on the Rancheria.
