Wiyot

The Wiyot (Chetco-Tolowa: wee-'at , Yurok: weyet ) are a surviving Indian tribe in California , near Humboldt Bay in California. They are culturally close to the Yurok .

There are around 450 wiyot left today.

The Wiyot achieved sad notoriety through the Wiyot massacre of 1860 , in which between 80 and 250 tribesmen were murdered by white settlers on February 26, 1860. The massacre occurred near Tuluwat (also Tolowot) near Eureka in Humboldt County , California, on an island that is now called Indian Island .
