Northern Humboldt Indians (History of Humboldt County People and Places)

In what is now Humboldt County and southern Klamath County, seven Indian tribes made their home: the Mawenok, Whilkut, Tsnungwe, Hupa, Karuk, Yurok, and Wiyot. They arrayed themselves upon the land and sent their roots down into the earth, so that they had become as one with the place. Their villages were of long standing, and even their individual houses could sometimes be traced back, by name, for hundreds of years. In 1850, whites arrived on the shores to rage like a gale across the land. For 15 years the gale would sweep up the rivers and over the ridges and tear loose much of what the Indians had established in their homelands. And still the wind continued to blow, as the desire for gold was replaced by other desires—for ranchland, for timber, and even for the salmon. The wind blows yet. This is the story of what happened when the people of the wind met the people of the land.
