Acknowledging The First People to have lived in this coastal region of rural Sonoma County, and whose descendants still live on their ancestral land nearby, the Kashia, also known as the Kashya Pomo, translate their name as “The Person who Belongs to the Land” or “People from the Top of the Land”. Kashaya can also be translated as “expert gamblers”, a name bestowed upon them by neighboring tribal bands of Pomo. They are an enduring part of this Community, called upon for knowledge and blessings, as well as their stewardship of the natural world here. Their Rancheria, or reservation, is not far from The Glass Barn, and Sonny (and Family) always held much respect and honor towards them.
