Yaquina People

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:

    Since the beginning of time, three-quarters of the mental energy and of the lies inspired by vanity have been expended for their inferiors by people who are only abased by such expenditure. And Swann, who was easygoing and unaffected with a duchess, trembled at the thought of being scorned and put on airs when he was with a housemaid.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
