My name is Patricia Ray- Franklin and I am a Tribe member of the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians. I would like to thank the Board for this step of progress and action to build our community by acknowledging our Tribal people. It has been an honor to go into the schools and share our history and culture firsthand with students. Having this proclamation enables the teachers and Unified School districts to be more open to allowing Tribal people to go into the classroom and share our history and culture firsthand. Bless you all as you continue to make positive decisions for our community as whole.
