The Pomo people are an indigenous people of California. The historic Pomo territory in northern California was large, bordered by the Pacific Coast to the west, extending inland to Clear Lake, and mainly between Cleone and Duncans Point. One small group, the Northeastern Pomo of the Stonyford vicinity of Colusa County, was separated from the core Pomo area by lands inhabited by Yuki and Wintuan speakers.
The name Pomo derives from a conflation of the Pomo words [pʰoːmoː] and [pʰoʔmaʔ]. It originally meant "those who live at red earth hole" and was once the name of a village in southern Potter Valley near the present-day community of Pomo. It may have referred to local deposits of the red mineral magnesite, used for red beads, or to the reddish earth and clay, such as hematite, mined in the area. In the Northern Pomo dialect, -pomo or -poma was used as a suffix after the names of places, to mean a subgroup of people of the place. By the year 1877 (possibly beginning with Powers), the use of Pomo had been extended in English to mean the entire people known today as the Pomo.
Some painted wild and know my name
And I got everything, just leave me in pain
Step inside my world and I will tell
And all I wanna do is paint the sun
Feel nature side beside my head
Put a gun to me in my sleep tonight and pray
Some painted wild and know my name
And I got everything, just leave me in pain
Step inside my world and I will tell
And all I wanna do is paint the sun
Feel nature side beside my head
Put a gun to me in my sleep tonight and pray
Stays always the same
Gotta bitch to take me high
Always the same
I live you long to take my chances
Stays always the same
I got a reputation to advertise
Always the same
Still I have a dream like fire sending balls right to
the place you stay
And all I wanna do is paint the sun
Feel nature side beside my head
Put a gun to me in my sleep tonight and pray
Stays always the same
I try to bring back stories to tell you
Always the same
Caught a lighter wound close to me
Always the same
I try to bring back stories to tell you
Always the same
I try to bring back stories to tell you, gotta step
