Tribal Area Description
Rancheria lands in California are associated with Middletown, a federally recognized tribe. The land base is relevant for broadband planning due to rural service coverage and middle-mile access constraints.
The Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California (the “Tribe”) was established with the purchase of one hundred eight (108) acres of land, initiated by members of the small Tribe in July of 1910. The Satellite Clinic is open to Middletown Rancheria Tribal Members, Native American, and Non-Native People. The Tribe opened its first medical Satellite Clinic on September 2011 in conjunction with Lake County Tribal Health Consortium, Inc. Medications are delivered to the Rancheria for Tribal Members and community members that utilize this facility. The Tribe was appropriated by the Congressional Act for California landless Indians in 1906. The General Council conducts duly called monthly meetings to review all reporting and business of the Tribe. The General Council reserves all rights to enter the Tribe into financial obligations and/or economic development on behalf of the Tribe.
