Kashia Band of Pomo Indians of the Stewarts Point Jail Information

The original residents of the coastal Sonoma County area near Fort Ross were the Pomo Indians of the Kashia Band. The Kashia inhabited territory stretching from the Gualala River in the north to Duncan's Point south of the Russian River. From the west, Kashia territory stretched from the Pacific coast along Warm Springs Creek to the confluence of Dry Creek, thirty miles inland. Pre-contact, an estimated 1,500 individuals lived in this area and travelled periodically around the land to take full advantage of the resources for their livelihood. By 1870, only three communities remained, and by 1914, the United States Federal Government began the process of establishing the Stewarts Point Rancheria by taking land into trust.

Understanding US Bureau of Indian Affairs

Because the legal system in ‘Indian Country’ operates outside of the legal jurisdiction of the cities, counties and states where the individual Indian Reservations are located, and the land is wholly owned and governed by the Tribes, the jails and detention centers on those lands are maintained and run by the individual Tribes. The police that provide the security and enforce the laws and the courts that mete out justice are also controlled by the individual Tribes.

There are over 90 jails and detention centers throughout Indian Country, of which, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Office of Justice Services (OJS) staffs and operates a quarter of these facilities. The remainder are operated by Tribes through the PL 93-638, Self-Governance Compacts and a few are fully funded and operated by a tribe. Each jail is unique in operation and location.

Indian Reservation and Tribal laws also fall under the legal jurisdiction of the federal government. If a federal law has been broken, the Department of Justice may get involved. In that case, a convicted person from a crime committed on Indian Lands may be required to serve their time within the BOP (Federal Bureau of Prisons).
