- Yurok Village -

The Yurok, sometimes called Sumeg Village, is a re-creation of real Yurok Indian homes.  The Yurok's land was not specifically here at Patrick's Point, they lived more north, but there is no doubt that at one time they either fished or gathered in the area. The village is located near the old park entrance close to the Agate Beach Campground and within walking distance of the entrance station. Axel Lindgren, god rest his sole, was the resident Yurok before he past away in the late 90's.  He was notorious for rambling during campfires, but he added a lot of culture to the park. He helped bring the village to life and before that made authentic Yurok canoes, one of which is still in the park located near the Visitor's Center.
