A beloved stretch of California’s rugged coastline is headed back to Indigenous stewardship after a Gavin Newsom-backed state commission approved the transfer of a popular Mendocino County beach to three Indigenous tribes. The 136-acre property, encompassing Blues Beach and the dramatic coastal bluffs just south of the community of Westport, will be transferred to Kai Poma, a nonprofit representing the Sherwood Valley Band of Pomo Indians, Round Valley Indian Tribes and Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians. 4 The California Transportation Commission gave the deal its final regulatory approval on June 26.
