Hoopa Valley Tribe again denied seat on board


The Hoopa Valley Tribe in northern California was again denied a seat on the Humboldt County Association of Governments.

The association board voted 4-4 last week on the tribe's membership. Even though the Humboldt County supports the tribe's stance, a county supervisor who sits on the association board voted against the tribe.

The tribe was made eligible to join the association by a special state law. The association decides key issues such as road funding and public transportation resources.
