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:
“Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
