Government
The Cahto Indian Tribe is run by a democratically-elected tribal council. The current tribal executive committee is:
- Cristy Taylor, Chairwoman
- Richard J. Smith, Vice-Chairman
- Lillian Frazier, Secretary-Treasurer
- Dewey Lucas, Member at Large.
The tribe operates its own housing authority, tribal police, and EPA office. Economic development comes from the tribe's Red Fox Casino, located in Laytonville.

Famous quotes containing the word government:
“... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“This is beautiful indeed; the colored people have given this to the head of the government, and that government once sanctioned laws that would not permit its people to learn enough to enable them to read this book.”
—Sojourner Truth (c. 1777–1883)
“Democracy is not so much a form of government as a set of principles.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
