	Algic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most Algic languages are part of the Algonquian subfamily, which are spoken from the Rocky Mountains to New England.
		The last known Wiyot speaker died in 1962, and Yurok is thought to have ten or fewer speakers.
		Wiyot and Yurok do not seem to be any more similar to each other than either language is to Algonquian languages.

	Algonquian languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Algonquian (also Algonkian) languages are a subfamily of Native American languages that includes most of the languages in the Algic language family (others are Wiyot and Yurok of northwestern California).
		The group is sometimes said to have included the extinct Beothuk language of Newfoundland, although evidence is scarce and poorly recorded, and the claim is mainly based on geographic proximity.
		Because Algonquian languages were some of the first that Europeans came in contact with in North America, the language family has given many words to English.

	Alliance of California Tribes - Member Tribes
		WIYOT - The traditional lands of the Wiyot people are located on the far northwest coast of California, along the shores of Humboldt Bay and the mouths of the Mad and Eel rivers.
		Their traditional way of life varied from that of coastal-tideland gathering along the coast, in which fish and shellfish were of prime importance, to reliance on salmon along the major rivers in the area, with vegetable foods and game playing a lesser role in the diet.
		Their language belongs to the Athabascan language family, related to other languages of northwestern California, but also to those of peoples in interior Alaska and Canada, as well as to Apache and Navajo in the Southwest.

		Their language is related to some other languages spoken in northwestern California, but also of the same language family of peoples in interior Alaska and Canada, and the Apache and Navajo in the Southwest.
		Although their language is a subgroup of the Uto-Aztecan language family, which is widespread throughout the state, the Tubatulabal language is very different from neighboring languages of this type.
		Their language is not one of the usual California languages, but is of the Algonquian language family, related to languages spoken throughout large areas of eastern North America.

		Language is being taught to kids here, and the tribal council votes of "yes" or "no" are now done in the Wiyot language.
		Cheryl is justly proud of these accomplishments, but for her the linchpin of the cultural revival efforts is yet to come — regaining control of at least part of Indian Island.
		She feels that this is a necessary "gift to the kids, to give them a future, so they will know who they are." Once the land is purchased, she hopes others will come along to restore the ceremonies and the dances.

		Shelter for the Wiyot consisted of rectangular houses that were built with 3 pitch roofs and sliding doors on the sides.
		The language spoken by this tribe was a Ritwan language that was similar to the neighboring Yoruk tribe’s language, and had a distant relation to the Algonquin language.
		The Wiyot primarily traded with the Mattole tribe in which dugout canoes were exchanged for tobacco and abalone shells, but they also traded with the Yurok tribe on occasion, in which deer skins were traded for rope.

	Wiyot Language and the Wiyot Indian Tribe (Weott)
		Sadly, its last native speaker died in 1962, but some members of the Wiyot tribe are trying to revive the language from audio recordings for cultural purposes.
		Wiyot is related to Yurok but not to the other languages of Northern California--known to linguists as the Ritwan languages, Wiyot and Yurok are actually distant relatives of Algonquian languages like Ojibway and Cree.
		Wiyot history is interesting and important, but the Wiyot are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern writers as well as traditional folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and the issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies of yesterday.

		Language: Yurok is an Algic language of Northern California, spoken by only a handful of elders there.
		(It should not be confused with the unrelated Siberian language Nenets, sometimes also called "Yurok".) Yurok is related to Wiyot but not to the other languages of Northern California--known to linguists as the Ritwan languages, Wiyot and Yurok are actually distant relatives of Algonquian languages like Ojibway and Cree.
		("Yurok" means, in fact, "downriver," in the language of the Karoks who lived at its other end.) Unlike most native peoples of the west coast, the Yuroks are Algonquian speakers.

		In the late nineteenth century reformers in efforts to civilize Indians adapted the practice of educating native children in boarding schoolss.
		The experience in the boarding schools which existed from 1875 to 1928 was difficult for Indian children who were forbidden to speak their native languages and in numerous other ways forced to adopt white cultural practices.
		Military defeat, cultural pressure, confinement on reservations, forced cultural assimilation, the outlawing of native languages and culture, forced sterilizations, termination policies of the 50's and 60's, and (especially) slavery have had deleterious effects on Native Americans' mental and ultimately physical health.

		The various bands of this area spoke the same language in two slightly different dialects (three, according to Merriam) and were gathered into the two missions of San Rafael and Sonoma, both of which were established within their territory.
		This is the first stock within the mission area which extended beyond the limits of California, the cognate tribes within the state being an outpost of the same great linguistic group which includes the Piute, Ute, Comanche, and Pima of the United States, the Yaqui, Tarumari, and famous Aztec of Mexico.
		The missionaries were more than once urged in prefectual letters to acquire the native languages in order better to reach the Indians, and in 1815 the official report states that religious instruction was given both in Indian and Spanish.

		A large number of Salish languages employ VC reduplication, a type of reduplication that repeats the second or a later consonant in a word and, when it occurs, the vowel preceding that consonant.
		As previous studies (Carlson and Thompson 1982; Kinkade 1982) have shown, VC reduplication generally expresses that the protagonist of the reduplicated form is not in control of the situation described by the reduplicated form.
		It is also shown that in many languages VC reduplication has a continuative-telic aspectual function that meshes with the 'out-of-control' function.
