Description

"Since time immemorial the Tolowa Dee-ni’ people of Northwestern California have fished, cared for, and tended the coastal environment. The Pacific Ocean and coastline is a fundamentally important cultural space for subsistence fishing and traditional gathering for the Tolowa Dee-ni’ people. The Tolowa have a special relationship with the sea, an understanding that has stretched back for generations. Along with smelt of the coast, the Tolowa people also depended on seaweed harvest, mussels, salmon, eel, and deer from the surrounding environment."
