The Kelley House Museum is proud to present an online exhibit in conjunction with our current exhibit “Northern Pomo: Mendocino’s First People.”

“Portraits from North American Indian Life,” Edward Curtis, Promontory Press, 1972.

Explore the history and rich culture of the Northern Pomo, who have lived on the Mendocino Coast for thousands of years. Discover the Pomo language, read about early coastal villages, admire exquisite basketry, and enjoy works of contemporary Pomo arts and crafts. Learn about the historical injustices that drove Native populations to near extinction. This exhibit is a testament to the Pomo’s enduring resilience.

Drop by the museum to see the full exhibit. The museum is open from 11AM to 3PM Friday through Sunday.
