Yuki Traditional Narratives
Yuki traditional narratives include myths, legends, tales, and oral histories preserved by the Yuki tribe, Yuki people of the upper Eel River (California), Eel River area of northwestern California. Yuki oral literature is primarily affiliated with that of central California, although there are also influences from the Northwest Coast region. They clearly belong to the central California tradition. (''See also'' Traditional narratives (Native California).)

Yuki Tribe
The Yuki (also known as Yukiah) are an Indigenous people of California who were traditionally divided into three groups: ''Ukomno'om'' ("Valley People", or Yuki proper), ''Huchnom'' ("Outside the Valley"), and ''Ukohtontilka'' or ''Ukosontilka'' ("Ocean People", or Coast Yuki). The territory of these three groups included Round Valley and much of northern Mendocino County, California, Mendocino County and Lake County, California, Lake County. Today they are enrolled members of the Round Valley Indian Tribes of the Round Valley Reservation. The Endonym and exonym, exonym "Yuki" may derive from the Wintu language, Wintu word meaning "foreigner" or "enemy." Yuki tribes are thought to have settled as far south as Hood Mountain in present-day Sonoma County. History Archaeologists, including Alfred Kroeber, have speculated that the Yuki have been resident in California for many thousands of years and once occupying a greater area than their historic homeland in Mendocino County, Califo ...

Eel River (California)
The Eel River (Wiyot: ''Wiya't''; Cahto: ''Taanchow''; Northern Pomo: ''ch'idiyu'') is a major river, about long, in northwestern California. The river and its tributaries form the third-largest watershed entirely in California, draining a rugged area of in five counties. The river flows generally northward through the Coast Ranges west of the Sacramento Valley, emptying into the Pacific Ocean about downstream from Fortuna and just south of Humboldt Bay. The river provides groundwater recharge, recreation, and industrial, agricultural and municipal water supply.William M. Brown and John R. RitterSediment transport and Turbidity in the Eel River Basin, 1971, prepared in cooperation with the California Department of Water Resources, 67 pages. The Eel River system is among the most dynamic in California because of the region's unstable geology and the influence of major Pacific storms. The discharge is highly variable; average flows in January and February are over 100 ti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Traditional Narratives (Native California)
The traditional narratives of Native Indigenous Californians are the folklore and mythology of the native people of California. In California, most of the native peoples can be categorized into three large groups, Penutian, Hokan and Uto-Aztecan. For many historic nations of California, there is only a fragmentary record of their traditions. Spanish missions in California from the 18th century Christianized many of these traditions, and the remaining groups were mostly assimilated to US culture by the early 20th century. Due to assimilation many native groups lost the original folklore and mythology that was integrated into their culture and traditions, resulting in the blurred and changed stories that are known today. While there are sparse records from the 18th century, most material was collected during the 19th and the early 20th centuries. In California, most of the native peoples can be categorized into three large groups, Penutian, Hokan and Uto-Aztecan. Of these tr ...
