Lakeport >> The 79th quilt block on the Lake County Quilt Trail (LCQT) is “Pomo Basket”. It has been installed on the Lake County Tribal Health main facility located at 925 Bevins Court, Lakeport, and is sponsored by the Lake County Tribal Health Consortium, Inc.
Lake County Native Americans are from various Pomo Bands. “Pomo Basket” represents the traditional Pomo Indian basket making and the Pomo’s unique design work. Pomo Indians are recognized by other tribes and bands for this unique tradition.
Lake County Tribal Health was established in 1983 and is the only clinic in Lake County owned and operated by residents. It provides medical and dental care to all the community, native and non-native. The main facility was recently expanded and remodeled to increase its capacity to meet the great demand in Lake County.
The LCQT is an agricultural and tourism project designed to promote community pride. The 8’by 8’ quilt block was drawn and painted by the LCQT team from the design suggestion given by Tribal Health. LCQT is a group of dedicated volunteer quilters, graphic artists, painters, writers, carpenters and a videographer.
