    I would think you are all confused and angry I`m a Wiyot and Yurok, grandpa was Yurok and Grandma was Wiyot BUT the land that was Wiyot was Ferndale a dairy farmer stoled it when the gov was trying to keep Wiyots from dying and starving~~ bUT we all know the story about that?? Wiyots were`nt just massacred on Indian Island but EEL River and then like near our old reservation by the bay, ( Table Bluff) .We all need to go back in History and teach our young ones the truth and todays truth too ! EVERYONE sweats the small shit here you complain about everything falling apart but no empathy?? Please try and get with it too ?? If you don`t stand for something, you`ll be on the next chain gang~~ its all coming out now and to think I almost bought that Laramee Valley and he was the one that was in on the massacre wow.. if you want to get technical, it was all Yurok and Wiyot land , they just did`nt believe in ownership and taking gold or logs out of mother earth they believed nothing could be owned why do you think animals and birds, whales are great messengers?? If you are really worried about gov stuff how about fREE CELL PHONES FOR THE DEAD LOL honestly????

    Wing Nuts of the world, unite around this pressing issue. Not enough that the earth is dying, the govt is now revealed as hopelessly inept, the number of additional bodies on earth each year is 100,000,000, we have no border with Mexico, and this is the best you can do?

    Oh, I see. You're the wing nut from Highboldtage. Right. Explains everything.

    Since the Wiyot tribe lived in the area now occupied by Eureka, I'm mystified where you got the idea that its original name is "Yurok." The closest Yurok village was in Trinidad. A more appropriate name would be Weke, which was the name of the particular group of Wiyot that lived around the Bay.
