Koi, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Koi was one of the two principal Pomo villages in the southeastern section of Clear Lake, in present-day Lake County, California, United States.[1] Along with the village of Elem, it was one of the major centers of the Southeastern Pomo triblet. Both settlements were located on islands near the shore of the lake and controlled surrounding mainland territory.[2]
Koi was located on Lower Lake Island, historically also known as Indian Island, near the southeastern arm of Clear Lake.[1] The island provided both a defensible position and access to fishing, waterfowl, and other lake resources. The territory of Koi extended to parts of the nearby mainland, where hunting and plant gathering were carried out.[3]
