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:

    “... Can poet’s thought
    That springs from body and in body falls
    Like this pure jet, now lost amid blue sky,
    Now bathing lily leaf and fish’s scale,
    Be mimicry?”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Will lovely, lively, virginal today
    Shatter for us with a wing’s drunken blow
    This hard, forgotten lake haunted in snow
    By the sheer ice of flocks not flown away!
    Stéphane Mallarmé (1842–1898)
