Location
By Riley
The Yurok lived on the Pacific Coast of Northwest California.Some of the Yuroks lived along Klamoth River. They also lived in villages in the winter and went around in bands in the summer. They were neighbors of the Karuk.

Way of Life
by Ashlee
The houses were about 20 feet tall. They built their houses with wood. Their houses were half underground. They lived in rectangular redwood plank houses. The Yurok used spears and weirs to catch the salmon. A weir is a woven stick fence. The Yurok placed the weirs across the river to stop the salmon from leaping upstream. The men went fishing and the women collected shells.
by Shawni
The Yuroks were gatherers and fishers.The Yuroks gathered acorns, berries, and other nuts.
The Yuroks also fished for salmon, clams, steal head trout, and sturgeon eel.
The Yuroks fished and gathered for their food. They got their fish, clams and eel from the ocean that they lived near. The Yuroks got their nuts and berries from the forest they were close to.
The Yuroks traded salmon and received dentalian shells. Dentaliam shells, obsidian blades, woodpecker scalps, and albino deer skins were like money to the Yuroks. A man's wealth was measured by how much land he owned.

Villages
by Ashlee Villages were designed more nearly around these great houses then vice versa. The houses were arranged in favorable up hill sides where they could command views as well as escape the potential problems of flooding and foul weather.
Culture
by Milton
They dance to make sure that they would have enough food and that the tribe will be well and safe. They dance to the rattle or the ceremony music.
If the Yurok found shells they will have lots of money. the Yurok satisfied this relationship with salmon through the mythological concept. the yurok tribe settled at the mouth of the Klamath river and the pacific coast.

Legacies
By Riley
The Yurok left behind baskets and some woodcarving they carved. They carved things out of Redwood trees. They carved the Redwood into things like household items, stools, storage boxes, and cooking things.
