Bloody Island Massacre, an 1850 massacre, for which the California island is named, of Pomo Indians by the U.S. Army
The first, placed by the Native Sons of the Golden West on 20 May 1942 on Reclamation Road 0.3 miles off Highway 20, simply noted the location as the scene of a "battle" between US soldiers under "Captain" Lyons and Indians under Chief Augustine.
The Bloody Island Massacre or Bonopoti occurred in 1850, on "Old Island", at the north end of Clear Lake.

One of the few Pomo survivors of the Bloody Island Massacre (also called the Clear Lake Massacre) in Northern California, a 6-year-old girl named Ni'ka, or Lucy Moore, evaded the United States Cavalry by hiding underwater and breathing through a tule reed, and was thereby able to survive.
