Blue Lake Rancheria

The Blue Lake Rancheria of the Wiyot, Yurok, and Hupa Indians is located in Humboldt County, California.

In 1966, the United States Government returned the Blue Lake Rancheria to the tribe and removed all Native rights from the tribe's citizens. These rights were returned in 1989 and the tribe now operates under their own constitution.

Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or lake:

    I think I noticed once
    T’was morning one sole street-lamp still bright-lit,
    Which, with a senile grin, like an old dunce,
    Vied the blue sky, and tried to rival it....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    His education lay like a film of white oil on the black lake of his barbarian consciousness. For this reason, the things he said were hardly interesting at all. Only what he was.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
