Yurok

The Yurok lived along the Klamath River in California and near the coast. They were mainly dependent on salmon and lamprey, however, they also gather acorns and seeds. The Yurok lived during historic times, yet were in a relatively inaccessible area and outside cultures were less influential for the Yurok than for surrounding people. The Yurok and the Hupa were nearly identical in clothing, ornaments, dwellings, utensils, food and methods of hunting and fishing. Politically, the Yurok were divided into villages and socially into families. There were no clans.
