Office of Indian Affairs for the right to build on a 50-acre (200,000 m 2) plot north of Healdsburg north of Lytton Station Road after Steele's home was destroyed in a flood.
The tribe was founded in 1937 by Bert Steele, who was one-quarter Achomawi and part Nomlaki, and his wife, a Pomo from Bodega Bay, when they successfully petitioned the U.S. It has a casino in San Pablo, California, and has proposed to build housing for tribe members, plus a winery and a hotel, just west of Windsor, California, in Sonoma County. The tribe now has around 275 enrolled members. They were recognized in the late 1980s, as lineal descendants of the two families who lived at the Lytton Rancheria in Healdsburg, California from 1937 to about 1960. The Lytton Band of Pomo Indians is a federally recognized tribe of Pomo Native Americans. Not to be confused with Lytton First Nation.
