Robinson Rancheria Citizens Business Council
The Robinson Rancheria Pomo Indians of California are led by the Robinson Rancheria Citizens Business Council (RRCBC) which is comprised of six elected tribal members. Robinson Rancheria Citizens Business Council, as well as members of its appointed committees, incorporate the values to promote the mission and vision for the Tribe as a whole on and off tribal lands.

Tribal Chairman – Beniakem Cromwell
Welcome, my name is Beniakem Dudi-Labith Cromwell, it translates into ‘shiny road’ (bright path) in Eastern Pomo language. I’m honored to be the father of 3 beautiful adult children. I’m grateful to be elected the past three years into our Tribal Council.
My vision as Chairman Elect is wellness for our community, youth participation in tribal government and economic development including and supporting aspiring entrepreneurs.
I draw on my experiences from living out of state, completing Bachelors degree from Arizona State University, having a small business, raising a family, and being raised by mother Colleen Pete and father Benjamin Cromwell, my step father Gary Pete and maternal grandmother Freeda May Krukoff. These are my influences that instilled work ethic, family, integrity and love for our community, land and Pomo people. My father’s side is from Big Valley and includes my grandmother Christine Posh and great grandfather Ned Posh.

Vice Chairman – Eddie Crandell Sr.

Secretary-Treasurer – Manuel Valadez III
Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Manuel Valadez III.
I was born in Lake County, CA and while I grew up throughout Northern California,
I was raised on the rez. I am a descendant from the Boggs and Andersons of Robinson
Rancheria. I also have ties to neighboring tribes through my Great-Grandfather
Patrick Miller from Upper Lake (Habematolel) and Great-Grandmother Theresa
Pearl (Ray) Boggs from Scotts Valley.
My experience working for the tribe actually started when I was
young. I worked for our Summer Youth Program, which was implemented by the Tribe,
and we still have to this day. Later, I decided to work for our casino. I
worked in different positions ultimately taking the opportunity to advance my
career by applying for a Lead Tech position. After learning more about management
I wanted to expand my knowledge, at the age of 23 I felt my skill set would be
more useful in Gaming Regulation, so I ran for Robinson Rancheria Gaming
Commission and was successful.
After 5 years as a Gaming Commissioner, I decided to run for
our Tribal Council. I was elected in late 2024 and now my goal is to find ways
to help our tribe grow and prosper. I hope my time on the Robinson Rancheria
Citizens Business Council will be beneficial to future generations by improving
on the businesses we have, and future ventures with my fellow Council Members.
