As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment.

To get you a better job. You're going to be saving money,” he said, money that could go toward a down payment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The need for more tribal housing to reduce homelessness becomes abundantly clear when reviewing the statistics. Nationally, \u003ca href=\"https://endhomelessness.org/homelessness-in-america/homelessness-statistics/state-of-homelessness-2020/\">Native Americans have the second-highest rate of homelessness\u003c/a> among all racial groups, behind Pacific Islanders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For American Indians living on reservation land, homelessness often translates into overcrowding. \u003ca href=\"https://www.huduser.gov/portal/sites/default/files/pdf/HNAIHousingNeeds.pdf\">A 2017 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development report\u003c/a> found 16% of tribal households were considered overcrowded, compared with only 2% of households nationwide. Without enough affordable, safe housing, two or three families sometimes live under one roof — like Wright did in Stockton — often a last resort before falling into street homelessness or staying at a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Lake County, Native Americans make up about 4% of the general population, but account for over 22% of the homeless population, according to the county’s 2021 \u003ca href=\"https://www.lakecoc.org/2021-pit-count-restults\">point-in-time homeless count\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don't have a big tribe, but we do have a tribe that doesn't have housing,” said Ray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re also a tribe that doesn’t have land, he adds, which further exacerbates their housing challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>No Land, No Home\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The story of how the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians lost their land is rooted in our country’s origin story.

After a series of false promises and broken treaties, the federal government, in 1911, purchased a 56-acre parcel of land near Lakeport for the tribe to live on. But the Sugar Bowl Rancheria, as it was named, lacked water and basic utilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tribe then lost that land in 1965, when the government terminated its tribal status, along with that of over 100 other tribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around the same time, government relocation programs ushered Native people to cities, promising good housing and steady jobs. But that didn’t always happen, and some people disappeared into poverty or homelessness.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Patricia Franklin, member of the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians\"]'It's a tough thing when you don't have a place to call home and lay your head. And I finally do at my house. But I want my tribe to have a home, too.'[/pullquote]As a result of these programs, about 70% of Scotts Valley tribal members had relocated to the Bay Area by the 1970s. After a years-long court battle, the tribe had their status restored in 1992, but their homeland was never replaced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very challenging because we don't have a place to call home,” said Patricia Franklin, a Scotts Valley tribal member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Scotts Valley is a landless tribe, its members are spread out across Alameda, Contra Costa, Lake, Mendocino and Sonoma counties. Many members live about two hours away from the tribe’s offices in Lakeport, making it difficult to have centralized health and housing services and stay united as a community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Native people, being homeless takes on a whole different meaning when you consider the legacy of racism, colonialism and land theft, says Colleen Echohawk, founder of the National Coalition to End Urban Indigenous Homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can trace it back to the very first moments of colonization in this country,” she said, noting that there were no Native homeless people before Europeans arrived in 1492.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The folks that were coming into the West were like, ‘Hey, we want this land,’ ” she said. “And they moved us all into reservations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arrival of European settlers brought diseases, forced assimilation and violent massacres of Native communities. Echohawk says many Native people today are still traumatized and distrustful of government involvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We've worked with elders who for years stuck outside, slept in tents, but did not want to go anywhere near a shelter. That’s because it triggered the trauma of boarding schools, those institutionalized systems that harmed them,” she said, referring to the Indian boarding schools that many Native children were sent to as part of the government’s drive to forcibly assimilate them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11875075\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11875075 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/RS49203_069_UpperLake_BloodyIslandSunriseCeremony_05152021-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A plaque on the site of the Bloody Island massacre near Upper Lake, California.

Nationally, \u003ca href=\"https://endhomelessness.org/homelessness-in-america/homelessness-statistics/state-of-homelessness-2020/\">Native Americans have the second-highest rate of homelessness\u003c/a> among all racial groups, behind Pacific Islanders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For American Indians living on reservation land, homelessness often translates into overcrowding. \u003ca href=\"https://www.huduser.gov/portal/sites/default/files/pdf/HNAIHousingNeeds.pdf\">A 2017 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development report\u003c/a> found 16% of tribal households were considered overcrowded, compared with only 2% of households nationwide. Without enough affordable, safe housing, two or three families sometimes live under one roof — like Wright did in Stockton — often a last resort before falling into street homelessness or staying at a shelter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Lake County, Native Americans make up about 4% of the general population, but account for over 22% of the homeless population, according to the county’s 2021 \u003ca href=\"https://www.lakecoc.org/2021-pit-count-restults\">point-in-time homeless count\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don't have a big tribe, but we do have a tribe that doesn't have housing,” said Ray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re also a tribe that doesn’t have land, he adds, which further exacerbates their housing challenges.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>No Land, No Home\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The story of how the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians lost their land is rooted in our country’s origin story.

Echohawk says many Native people today are still traumatized and distrustful of government involvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We've worked with elders who for years stuck outside, slept in tents, but did not want to go anywhere near a shelter.

Davidson ... with orders to proceed against the Clear Lake Indians, and exterminate if possible the tribe. The troops arrived in the vicinity of the Lake, and came unexpectedly upon a body of Indians numbering between two and three hundred. Little or no resistance was encountered, and the work of butchery was of short duration. The shrieks of the slaughtered victims died away, the roar of muskets that ceased, and stretched lifeless upon the sod of their native valley were the bleeding bodies of these Indians — or sex, nor age was spared; it was the order of extermination fearfully obeyed.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But history was rewritten just three days later in the same newspaper, after a military officer questioned the original story.

The caller said the fire was up Highway 20, and as soon as Weiss got off the phone, someone else called with more information. Then another person called and another. Weiss stayed put and kept taking calls. The phone lines were busy for the next 10 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That phone call came at the start of the \u003ca href=\"http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/incidents/incidents_details_info?incident_id=707\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wye Fire\u003c/a>, which burned almost 8,000 acres and destroyed three buildings. It was the first time the station had taken a live, all-day, call-in approach to covering a fire. Now, it's standard protocol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whenever there’s a fire, KPFZ goes to a live call-in format. Hosts of the station’s various programs come in to take turns on the air. In addition to trying to answer callers’ questions and broadcasting observations of what people are seeing, the hosts also relay information from officials, like local county supervisors and Cal Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big part of the job during the fires is separating fact from fiction. People call in with false information—something they saw on social media or heard from a neighbor. There has been a steep learning curve for how to filter all this information during a live show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only Weiss had any substantial experience as a reporter for radio. He said the station made mistakes at first, including passing along incorrect information, but Weiss said the station has gotten better with every fire. This year, they covered the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fire.ca.gov/current_incidents/incidentdetails/Index/2175\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mendocino Complex Fire\u003c/a>, California’s largest on record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This last fire was really our best job filtering information,” Weiss said. “A lot of us are really seasoned now.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But sifting through and presenting information is just part of the service KPFZ provides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weiss said many of the callers feel isolated and are seeking solidarity. They call in to connect with other people who are going through the same things they are going through. At its best, the call-in program can bring the community together and be a comforting, calming voice amid all the chaos, Weiss said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KPFZ now has a show all about fire recovery because of how many fires there have been in recent years. It’s hosted by Betsy Cawn, who is one of the most avid volunteer fire reporters at the station. It was hard to meet with Cawn during the fires so Weiss told me to call and have the engineer patch me in during her show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cawn told me there aren’t many places for locals in Lake County to turn to for information. Like in much of rural America, local media has taken a financial hit since the rise of the internet. There’s only a single newspaper, a public access TV channel and one news website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the fires “people had no other resource,” Cawn said. “They discovered KPFZ on the radio, and they were so grateful that there was someplace that was providing timely updates.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After fires, community members have been asking for the radio station’s address to send in donations. The station isn’t asking for it, but people wanted to send money because they knew the operation was being run on a tiny budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well over half of Lake County has burned since the Wye fire in 2012, and the county was already struggling before the spike in fires. Like many of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11691065/string-of-fires-in-northern-california-may-worsen-poverty-for-years-to-come\">Northern California counties\u003c/a> hit hard by fires in recent years, Lake County has one of the highest poverty rates in the state. Resources for anything, including a radio station, are scarce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KPFZ is run out of an old Victorian home off the main street in Lakeport. When Andy Weiss showed me around, he apologized for the messy office. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our last thought is making money,” Weiss said. “It’s making radio.

The phone lines were busy for the next 10 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That phone call came at the start of the \u003ca href=\"http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/incidents/incidents_details_info?incident_id=707\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wye Fire\u003c/a>, which burned almost 8,000 acres and destroyed three buildings. It was the first time the station had taken a live, all-day, call-in approach to covering a fire. Now, it's standard protocol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whenever there’s a fire, KPFZ goes to a live call-in format. Hosts of the station’s various programs come in to take turns on the air. In addition to trying to answer callers’ questions and broadcasting observations of what people are seeing, the hosts also relay information from officials, like local county supervisors and Cal Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big part of the job during the fires is separating fact from fiction. People call in with false information—something they saw on social media or heard from a neighbor. There has been a steep learning curve for how to filter all this information during a live show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only Weiss had any substantial experience as a reporter for radio. He said the station made mistakes at first, including passing along incorrect information, but Weiss said the station has gotten better with every fire. This year, they covered the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fire.ca.gov/current_incidents/incidentdetails/Index/2175\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mendocino Complex Fire\u003c/a>, California’s largest on record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This last fire was really our best job filtering information,” Weiss said. “A lot of us are really seasoned now.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But sifting through and presenting information is just part of the service KPFZ provides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weiss said many of the callers feel isolated and are seeking solidarity. They call in to connect with other people who are going through the same things they are going through. At its best, the call-in program can bring the community together and be a comforting, calming voice amid all the chaos, Weiss said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KPFZ now has a show all about fire recovery because of how many fires there have been in recent years. It’s hosted by Betsy Cawn, who is one of the most avid volunteer fire reporters at the station. It was hard to meet with Cawn during the fires so Weiss told me to call and have the engineer patch me in during her show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cawn told me there aren’t many places for locals in Lake County to turn to for information. Like in much of rural America, local media has taken a financial hit since the rise of the internet. There’s only a single newspaper, a public access TV channel and one news website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the fires “people had no other resource,” Cawn said. “They discovered KPFZ on the radio, and they were so grateful that there was someplace that was providing timely updates.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After fires, community members have been asking for the radio station’s address to send in donations. The station isn’t asking for it, but people wanted to send money because they knew the operation was being run on a tiny budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well over half of Lake County has burned since the Wye fire in 2012, and the county was already struggling before the spike in fires. Like many of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11691065/string-of-fires-in-northern-california-may-worsen-poverty-for-years-to-come\">Northern California counties\u003c/a> hit hard by fires in recent years, Lake County has one of the highest poverty rates in the state. Resources for anything, including a radio station, are scarce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KPFZ is run out of an old Victorian home off the main street in Lakeport. When Andy Weiss showed me around, he apologized for the messy office. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our last thought is making money,” Weiss said. “It’s making radio. That’s first and foremost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11698597\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/kpfz2-1020x765.jpg\" alt=\"KPFZ station manager Andy Weiss holds up a pirate flag.\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11698597\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">KPFZ station manager Andy Weiss holds up a pirate flag. \u003ccite>(Sam Harnett/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The station is sparsely decorated, but it has the staples of a community radio station.

They often lack insurance and resources to rebuild or move elsewhere. The effects on families quickly add up for a community.

It found that major catastrophes increase a county’s poverty rate -- the percentage of people living below the poverty line -- by an average of 1 percent. That's because disasters encourage those who are well off to leave, and it makes those with low income poorer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a disturbing reality for the counties hit by wildfires this summer.

Take Lake County for instance. Well over half of it has burned since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just this year, the Carr and Mendocino Complex Fires destroyed over 1,300 homes. Many of those who lost their homes may never fully rebound financially. Good jobs and affordable housing are hard to replace in rural Northern California.
