Sumeg Indian Village
Patricks Point State Park, California
Sumeg is a faithful recreation of a traditional Yurok Indian village, with a dance circle, sweat lodge and semi-underground redwood plank houses. It was built by members of the Yurok tribe and state park employees at Patrick Point State Park near Trinidad. It lies within the original tribal area and close to the present Yurok reservation on the Klamath River.
