	McCaleb, Hoopa, Yurok, Settlement Act
		In 1963, Yurok and other Indians (eventually almost 3800 individuals) challenged this distribution, and the United States Court of Claims subsequently held that all Indians residing within the 1891 Reservation were "Indians of the Reservation" and were entitled to share equally in the timber proceeds generated from the Square.
		Section 7(a) further provided that the Yurok Tribe would receive the remaining monies in the Settlement Fund after distributions were made to individuals in accordance with the settlement/membership options in section 6 and to successful appellants left off the original settlement roll under section 5(d).
		The Yurok Tribe's submission similarly outlined the history of the dispute, other considerations, and its recommendations for the Department to consider.

		SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The economic fates of the Yurok and Quechan tribes, separated by nearly 1,000 miles and located in diametrically opposed ends of California, are now linked following Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's June 16 announcement that compacts signed by the tribes might yield the greatest number of concessions to the state to date.

	Yurok Language and the Yurok Indian Tribe (Olekwo'l)
		(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.
		There are about 3500 Yurok people in Northern California today; in some places, they have merged with their neighbors the Wiyot.
