Description:
Excerpt from North American Indian Costumes, Vol. 1, pp. 16-17: The Yuroks live in northern California, along the Klamath River and on the neighbouring seacoast. Their villages nestle close to the river or the beaches and lagoons. Their traditions and myths are all related to their present environment, so they have lived there a very long time, if not always. Like all California Indians, they were peace loving and without military traditions. Their "wars" were usually private quarrels between themselves or with other tribes, in which an antagonist was helped by his village. At the conclusion of hostilities, they paid for the men they had killed and the property they had destroyed. Except by some white trapper or adventurer, they were entirely unknown a hundred years ago. When the gold rush brought Americans on the scene, they found the Yuroks friendly and peaceful although some hostilities developed between miners and a few Yurok villages. A reservation on the Klamath was assigned to them in 1855. Now they live on individual allotments. They have managed to subsist by their own efforts. They have decreased in number from around 2,700, in 1870, to little more than 500. They are taller than most of the other California Indians and differ from them in many respects. They had no chieftain; wealth was the yardstick of a family or a man's standing, and was the goal of all their efforts; they used as currency woodpecker scalps, shells and obsidian. Marriage was simple a property transaction. They had some interesting ceremonials like the Deer Skin and the Woodpecker Dances. They were perhaps the most skilful basket makers in America. Their seagoing canoes, made of redwood, were about twenty feet in length with both ends cut square. The lived in large square houses, built of split and dressed planks, and set around a square pit. These houses had gabled roofs; they measured eighteen to twenty-five feet in width and six feet high at the peak. The Yuroks subsisted on seafood and on salmon and lamprey. They also ate acorns. The dress of the men consisted of a deerskin breech cloth and deerskin moccasins with elk soles; leggings were worn when hunting. Fur robes were used over the shoulders in cold weather. The women's dress was a knee-length skirt of skin, open at the front, where it revealed a fringed apron consisting of strung pine nut shells, with ornamentation of grass and abalone shells. A bowl-shaped basket cap was commonly worn. Both men and women parted their hair in the middle and allowed it to hang down in two braids in front of the shoulders, but the men sometimes arranged theirs in a single rope hanging behind. Some wore ear pendants, either of abalone shell or dentalia, with red woodpecker feathers on the end. Most women had tattooed lines on their chin. The headdress in Plate 22 is made of deerskin and woodpecker crests. description Excerpt from North American Indian Costumes, Vol. 1, pp. 16-17: The Yuroks live in northern California, along the Klamath River and on the neighbouring seacoast.
