Yaquina Indian Tribe History
Yaquina. A small tribe, but the most important division of the Yakonan family, formerly living about Yaquina
river and bay, west Oregon. By the early
explorers and writers they were classed with the Salishan tribes to the north,
but later were shown to be linguistically independent. The tribe
is now practically extinct. There are a few survivors, for the
greater part of mixed blood, on the Siletz Reservation, Oregon. According to Dorsey
(Jour. Am. Folk-lore, 111, 229, 1890) the
following were villages of the Yaquina:
