Yaquina originally denoted a tribe of Native Americans, now nearly extinct, along with their language (an Alsean language that is also extinct, which is also known as Yakwina or Yakona). The remaining Yaquina people live on the Siletz Reservation in Oregon, and are mostly of mixed blood.
Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Generally speaking, we would make a good bargain by renouncing all the good that people say of us, upon condition they would say no ill.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
