The Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians is applying for an ICDBG CARES Act Imminent Threat grant. If our submission is approved, the Tribe would be eligible for up to $900,000 in grant funds from the Federal Government in order to prevent, prepare for, or respond to a COVID-19 outbreak. The Tribe intends to use any awarded grant funds to implement a gated community in the Housing Area of the Reservation. We would use the funds to install additional fencing, security gates, and checkpoints at the entrance of the Housing Area in order to safeguard our community and reduce the risk of our population’s exposure to COVID-19. Please contact the Tribal Administration office if you have any questions.

4/16/2020: With the tragic and recent loss of Ashley Pulawa the EPD Department and Administration staff are working very hard on the community garden as it was her vision for her people. While it is always our goal to work with the community, the COVID-19 situation prevented that to its full extent. Once the restrictions on gathering and sheltering in place are lifted we will dedicate "Ashley's Garden" in her memory. In the next month we would like to invite community volunteers to sign-up for gardening tasks in order to fulfill Ashley's dream for a garden that brings together her family and community. If you are interested in volunteering and would like more information click here.

Mendocino County follows guidance to recommend face coverings for anyone outside of their home. A simple, homemade cloth mask will suffice. Visit the Coyote Valley Tribal Health Department's facebook for tips and videos. More information is available on the County website here.

Background - COVID_19
While we navigate these uncharted waters together, we fully want to keep communication open and offer support to the greatest extent possible. This temporary website is created to limit staff contact at each residence while also keeping members and residents informed.
COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by a novel virus that spread worldwide. Community-acquired (acquired or arising in the general population: not acquired or arising in a hospital) cases have now been confirmed in Mendocino County. Researchers and medical doctors are working to understand more about COVID-19, to date no successful treatment or immunization is available. The complete clinical picture with regard to COVID-19 is not fully understood. Reported illnesses have ranged from mild to severe, including illness resulting in death. Older people, those with compromised immune systems, and people with certain underlying health conditions like heart disease, lung disease and diabetes, for example, seem to be at greater risk of serious illness.
Protecting our elders, children, and community as a whole is of utmost importance. To that end, please adhere to the current Tribal and County orders.
