Peter, I grew up by the Ramapo Mountain Indians which are also called or know as “Jackson whites” in Nj where NY,NJ,CT all come together. I might have a name I can get you. They haven’t been interviewed I’m pretty sure of that. They are only written about by word of mouth, like on Weird NJ magazine. Let me know if it interests you. There is 4 last names in the tribe. I will get you the name you need. They are very interesting…….

Most of these people were within 2 years of their natural non-COVID death.

In the early 70’s my friend and I traveled from Sonoma State College to Weitchpec. We were going to kayak down the Klamath to the ocean. At our first stop on the river, after we set up camp, we were met by several Native guys about our own age (early 20’s). We traded some of our beers for some of their smoked salmon. I’ve always felt we got the better deal!!! The memories of that trip have stayed with me. I was (and still am) enthralled with the people we met. What a beautiful people and culture!!

My wife and I got married at Tish Tang campground in 2016. Inker does an incredible job of stewarding the land and acting as an ambassador for all who travel through. Cannot recommend enough that you visit. We go back every year to celebrate our anniversary. Very special place full of beautiful people!

[@ElMariachi1337]

After having seen loads of Peter's adventures, the essence I'm picking up is: If you are open (minded) to other people, there will always be people open to you. This vid is a prime example, just bringing some bakets of apples and getting a worthy view and opinions of other people's worlds. Thanks for taking us along on these adventures!

Don't forget he's also coming with a camera

[@alanwaxman6683]

Im sure he would get to know people even better without the camera.

My father was allowed onto the hoopa res in the 70s. He lived in Etna, him and I have always had an afinity with nature and our Native friends. This episode is the best way to start the weekend.

[@williamsherman2776]

Same with my dad a lot don’t realize you had to be invited back in the day

[@shelleywilcox2119]

Loved this video. My mom was born on the Hoopa reservation in 1933 as perhaps the first white baby born there. My grandfather was a civil engineer working building the roads in that area. My grandmother told me wonderful stories about living there at that time.

[@Scrappy_longsocks]

Thats the Tribe im from definitely a blessing seeing this on a page I watch frequently

[@blueyzsf]

My parents grew up in Salyer and went to Hoopa High. Got married and lived on the Rez, my two older sisters were born there. They moved off the Rez so Dad could go to Carpenter school in Berkeley where I was born...we settled in the Sacramento area. Dad/we are Native Karuk and we have a lot of family history in that area. I have cousins who live there and one was on the tribal counsel for a while. Lot has changed since we used to visit growing up. Interesting to see some of the sights I recognize. Thanks for the adventure.😁😁

[@deatako6006]

Sacramento area here too. Vast difference between there and here. I would much rather be there, surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of nature. We used to have it here at the river until it became overrun by the homeless and their trash. It was my place to walk my dogs, ride my horse, rarely saw anyone, now forget it.

[@mikestearman2913]

Hi Peter. I worked for the Hoopa Tribe for five years (07-12) in the Hoopa Tribal Clinic. I met many wonderful people, and loved the beauty of the place. I think I have talked to Sam and Inker all those years ago. I really appreciate the video work you do.

[@judithmccrea2601]

I was taken by surprise by your post. I worked at Hoopa Valley Tribal Medical clinic in 1973. Larry Vickman was the doctor. The county hospital branch was there then, too. That was the year Dr. Burnett hit a cow in his Porsche and was killed 😢. Anyway, just saying hi!

[@2A_supporter]

Do the pit river tribe next I personally know Ross Montgomery’s son his name is also Ross. Coolest people up in the northeastern corner of California from Montgomery creek to Alturas. If you don’t overlook this comment I can 110% get you a video like this for pit river tribe. There’s a few different rezs and we would most likely guide you through smith camp or big bend reservation.

[@helenpomerleau6455]

Do you know Gladys O'Neal or Florence Buckskin ?

[@wildebt]

The Hoopa are amazing and very cool, I got to work alongside Hoopa TCCC (tribal civilian conservation corps) during several Americorps disaster response team deployments. Deep, dignified, humorous, generous, hard working and occasionally hard partying young folks. I was coming from the WCC (WA conservation corps), and we all worked together to help people recover/repair their flooded homes, basically for minimum wage and educational credit

You left with lessons learned that will be with and you’ll apply throughout your lifetime and hopefully you will share by paying them forward.

Thank you for sharing about Northern California, a lot of people here feel left behind by the local, state, and federal governments. Having been here all my life, born and raised, I think it's an extremely important issue that largely goes unseen outside of our communities. I hope this video brings attention to that and maybe more people can start to see the brightness still here in our Northern California towns and communities.

[@rikkiechambers4959]

I live in Willow Creek my kids went to Hoopa High , my daughter works there now , the schools are actually a pretty big employer for the tribe and so is firefighting and forestry jobs , I love the Hoopa people some of my best friends are Hoopa and the valley is so beautiful especially in the fall and spring , I’m so glad your video with Brett sent you inland this is some of the most beautiful country your ever gonna see and the people are some of the most genuinely beautiful souls you will ever meet ! And if you think it’s remote there you should ride down the road to Orleans or wichepeg where the Trinity and Klamath meet … talk about rural lol but the drive …. Oh it’s stunning and the Klamath is a gorgeous river going up to Oregon , and if you take the back road Bald Hills Road over the mountain from wichepeg it comes out at LadyBird Johnson grove not far from the Klamath reservation near the coast ,some of the most stunning land in all of the state and I been to all of my state ! And I mean literally every county in Ca .none of it is as beautiful as the north coast and the emerald triangle … a couple small parts are close … but no place has as much to offer as here .Sam is mad cool and this is really a nice representation thank you for coming 🤎

The first Dad spoke on wealth and greed... How Greed will turn a man against his own. Robbing , the Tribes of the Natural God or Creators given wealth from the land, (fish, minerals, hunting meat, etc) basically settling out, yet securing a paycheck for themselves @1st dad will do miracles for that part of California land if he is put on council.. give him an opportunity.. 2nd dad spoke clearly on the b.s that has been destroying families, dividing many starting from proving DNA, Drugs,, infiltrating our community with drugs that should have never reached them.. But somehow it's booming, giving others a paycheck for the criminal acts, yet never reaching out with seriousness on a solution.. Basically DGAF, I've got my check, Their truth makes it so clear, that it is still a battle a War they fight everyday, and this is the deadliest,, from the inside , within

@@samjones1946 One of my favorite videos so far. I am far away in New York State. Very close to me is the Seneca Nation of Indians, formerly part of the Iroquois Confederacy. Technically called the Cattaraugus Reservation, and another close one is Allegany Reservation. I visit them often for various reasons, gas station, tobacco, casino but I want to do more to learn the culture of people that were here LONG before America. I just don't even know where to start. So for now I appreciate all of what you and other members of the other nations have shared.

For those interested in the field of Social Work, Cal Poly Humboldt's Bachelors and Masters program does a great job in incorporating the flawed history of Social Work in relation with the neighboring tribes. Many of the staff are Indigenous themselves and you learn so much about this balance of power between tribal and local governments. The history is very Traumatic but you learn so much about resilience from a community standpoint and how to build on it.
