Yaquina originally denoted a tribe of Native Americans, now nearly extinct, along with their language (an Alsean language that is also extinct, which is also known as Yakwina or Yakona). The remaining Yaquina people live on the Siletz Reservation in Oregon, and are mostly of mixed blood.
Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Those words freedom and opportunity do not mean a license to climb upwards by pushing other people down. Any paternalistic system that tries to provide for security for everyone from above only calls for an impossible task and a regimentation utterly uncongenial to the spirit of our people.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
