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!
