THESE POMO LADIES WERE TOLD TO PRAY TO THE CREATOR BEFORE COLLECTING ANY PLANTS.. IF THIS ISN'T DONE THE PLANTS WILL MAKE US CRAZY AND SICK. IF THE PLANTS ARE NOT ARE NOT PROTECTED THEY WILL NOT HAVE ANY PLANTS FOR CURING DISEASES, NOR THE VARIETY OF PLANTS AVAILABLE. AFTER A WOMAN IS THROUGH MENSTRUATING SHE UNDERGOES A CLEANSING RITUAL BEFORE GATHERING PLANTS. THESE RITUALS MUST BE UNDERTAKEN UNDERTAKEN IF PLANTS AND PEOPLE WILL SURVIVE IN THIS WORLD. CHILDREN MUST LEARN THAT POMO TRADITIONAL WAY OF LIFE IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO OUR PEOPLE AND MUST VALUE ELDER'S KNOWLEDGE. THESE WOMEN WERE PROUD TO COLLECT SPECIES AND LEARN THEIR RITUALS ASSOCIATED WITH PLANTS. APPARENTLY THE KASHAYA POMO HAVE ESTABLISHED A PEACEFUL RELATION WITH THE RUSSIANS AT FORT ROSS.
