The Hopland Band of Pomo Indians, or Sho Ka Wah are Central Pomo people who have lived in Hopland since "the beginning of time". The Sho Ka Wah lived their lives hunting, gathering, making, practicing spirituality and generally living their lives. Their main village, population 1500, was called "Shanel". After the settlers came, they were forced to move, and then to move again. Today most of the Sho Ka Wah people live in the Hopland reservation 5 miles east of Hopland. They have a gambling facility and other businesses to support their community. The community also engages in spirituality, dance traditions, and caring for the land.
