About This Poem

Along the Klamath




Spray painted on the bridge guardrail
The words "Two Feathers is pok li la..."
Past and the present meet by the river
The old ways remembered by the young.

Two Feathers in an "upstream man"
Tribes of the mother river, the Klamath
Nurturing their spirit and  feeding the body
Through the ages as it runs to the sea..



Hupa, Yurok and Kurok tribes have lived for thousands of years along the beautiful
Klamath River in northern California. 
For Deb's contest.

    Congratulations to you Barbara!!! We are both familiar with the tribes of Northern California, and I love the history lessons available to those of us who love our part of the country. Indeed the Klamath River is known for the many tribes who have lived there!
