Yurok-Quiet Waters

This painting shows the ruggedness characteristic of the shores of Klamath river. Eddies caused by projecting masses of rock are the spots chosen for taking salmon in dip-nets, both because the upstream set of the current permits the net to be held with the opening down-stream and because the salmon are attracted to such pools of slack water after combatting the swift current.
The Yurok Tribe is California?s largest Indian Tribe with nearly 5,000 enrolled members. The Yurok Tribe?s Territory consists of all Ancestral Lands, specifically including, but not limited to, the Yurok Reservation?s lands, which currently extend from one mile on each side from the mouth of the Klamath River and upriver for a distance of 44 miles. The Yurok Tribe?s people are also known historically as the Pohlik-la, Ner-er-er, Petch-ik-lah and Klamath River Indians.
For millennia traditional Yurok religion and sovereignty was pervasive and practiced throughout all our historic villages along the Pacific Coast and inland on the Klamath River. The Yurok people carried on extensive trade and social relations through this region and beyond.
Yurok commerce traditionally included a monetary system based on the use of dentalium shells, Terk-n-term and other items as currency.
The Yurok traditional ceremonies include the Deerskin Dance, Doctor Dance, Jump Dance, Brush Dance, Kick Dance, Flower Dance, Boat Dance, and others, that have drawn Yurok people and neighboring Tribes together for renewal, healing and prayer.
This whole land, this Yurok country, stayed in balance and was kept that way by our good stewardship, hard work, wise laws and constant prayers to the Creator.
