• Point Arena stands tall after vandalism at Pomo mural site • The Mendocino Voice (mendovoice.com) — A new Main Street mural in Point Arena honoring Pomo woman Nicole Smith is moving forward with even stronger community support after being vandalized last month. City leaders, tribal community members, and the artist are collaborating closely to ensure the artwork reflects Pomo culture and fuels awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, while Smith’s family offers a $20,000 reward for information in her unsolved killing.
