Tbh big language families with far-flung outposts is weirdly common in NA. Athabaskan has Navajo and Apache, Algic has Yurok and Wiyot, and Siouan has Stoney. If you’re willing to go into Mexico, there’s Huastec for Mayan.

The Klamath River runs through the heart of Yurok life. For decades, the community fought to free it — and in 2024, they won.
I spoke with Yurok Tribal attorney Amy Bowers Cordalis about what it means to restore a river, a people, and a way of life in my latest conversation for @thenation.com.

So huge! First time I ever saw one was in Big Sur from a car.. they are just so enormous and unmistakable with giant numbered tags.
Went to pinnacles on a rainy day about 20 years ago and saw 30 or so riding updrafts in a sunny moment in between rain showers.

“More than 17,000 acres around the Klamath River in Northern California, including the lower Blue Creek watershed, have returned to the Yurok Tribe, completing the largest landback deal in California history.”
More of this would be great.

Why is the population of Klamath (half Yurok) so low?
Why doesn't it have broadband, schools and a health clinic?
With $2.1 B, we can hook up Klamath to broadband, have the kids do hybrid school in Klamath and Arcata. Ship groceries with the school bus. Telehealth & clinic in Klamath
