Please comment, Ma, EdšŸ˜…, Pin ... interesting to see how interlinked thus information technology systems are :


* 

what native language (in Colusa County CA) is the word Poonkinney (as Street name IN PICTURE above) and what does it mean?


* 

native languages spoken in the round valley reservation covelo ca in colusa county?


The Round Valley Reservation in Covelo, CA, was home to a diverse group of tribes who spoke languages including Yuki, Pomo, Concow Maidu, Little Lake Pomo, Nomlaki, Cahto, Wailaki, and Pit River, with the Yuki language being an extinct language formerly spoken by the Yuki people. 
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  • Yuki: The Yuki people, also known as Ukomno'm, were the original inhabitants of the Eel River area and the Round Valley Reservation. Their language, Yuki, is now extinct. 
  • Pomo: The Pomo language family was represented by groups like Little Lake Pomo. 
  • Concow Maidu: The Concow Maidu people were also part of the Round Valley Reservation. 
  • Nomlaki: The Nomlaki people were another group who came to reside on the reservation. 
  • Cahto: The Cahto people, sometimes called "People of the Lake" or "Lake People," were also part of the reservation's diverse population. 
  • Wailaki: The Wailaki people were another group who were forced to live on the reservation. 
  • Pit River: The Pit River people were also part of the diverse group of tribes on the reservation. 
  • Wintun/Patwin: Traditionally, the tribe spoke the Wintun/Patwin language, a Wintuan language of the Penutian language family.

Nomlaki, a Wintuan language of Northern California, is considered moribund, with only partial speakers remaining, while Wailaki, a Dene language spoken along the Eel River watershed, is considered extinct, but some efforts are underway to revive it. 
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Nomlaki Language: 
  • Language Family: Wintuan language, part of the hypothesized Penutian language family. 
  • Location: Spoken by the Nomlaki people in the Sacramento Valley, extending westward to the Coast Range in Northern California. 
  • Status: Moribund, meaning it is near extinction with only partial speakers remaining. 
  • Revitalization Efforts: Tribal members and language activists are working to revitalize and reclaim the language. 
  • Other Wintuan languages: Patwin and Wintu 
  • Nomlaki Indians: Nomlāqa Bōda; nom is 'west', and lāqa is a verb form of 'speak', thus 'western speakers' (but 'western dwellers', J. Curtin 1898 in F. W. Hodge 1910) 
Wailaki Language: 
  • Language Family: Dene (Athabaskan) language family. 
  • Location: Spoken by the Wailaki people along the Eel River watershed in northwestern California. 
  • Status: Considered extinct, but there are efforts to revive the language. 
  • Revitalization Efforts: Native American Professor Kayla Begay is researching and developing resources for language revitalization, including a working grammar and tools for educators and community members. 
  • Other Athabaskan groups: Hupa-Whilkut- 
  • Wailaki is a Wintun word signifying ā€œnorth languageā€

March 16 2025 Sunday

Good morning, Ma and Pin and Ed, How are you this Sunday? After WUaS Monthly Business Meeting yesterday morning near Garberville CA, ~200 miles north of SF - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/03/snow-mountain-wilderness-ca.html - headed inland ~20 miles south of there on Hwy 162, thinking I'd drive inland back to the Clear Lake ... Was also scouting possible linguistic field sites and similar for WUaS students with Native American languages ... Came to the Round Valley Indian Tribes' Reservation with the its town of Covelo ... and started asking at stores about Native American languages spoken in the area: one attendant in the gas station ($4.69 gallon) said maybe Pomo, and Nomlaki and Wailaki languages might be spoken in the area, AND another woman at the register at Keith's IGA grocery store said she had been in Covelo since 1984, 41 years, and she had never heard any Native American languages spoken in the grocery store I think ... The woman at the register across from her looked very Native American, and disappeared as I was beginning to stand in line (and I had asked about Native American languages prior to this in the gas station, who also told me how to get to the Covelo public library giving good directions) ... In the Covelo public library I found a great display (see photo) - - of Native Americans in the area (also from an AI overview just learned of Dr. Kayla Begay
Associate Professor & Chair 
https://nasp.humboldt.edu/people/dr-kayla-begay 
who went to Stanford as an undergrad and UC Berkeley for her PhD and is developing a grammar of Wailaki ... ) Thinking I'd head into the Snow Mountain Wilderness area from the north, and then come out on a road I had found 2 weeks ago near Elk Mountain and Clearlake, I headed east farther (with the only internet access for updating GMaps from the library) on Hwy 162 with Google Maps giving me not much info ... After some miles it became a dirt road, and after a few more miles I started driving in my great 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland van through SNOW on the road ... so decided to turn back west, drive out to Hwy 1 and then south to Upper Lake and R Pomo Pumps ($3.80 gallon, up from 3.74 /gallon and lowest cost gas I've seen) ... Got back to the Clear Lake area, got gas, - getting about 33.5 mpg now in van on total 1455 miles  (which is pretty good for this Incredible minivan 34/city 36 hwy I think it said was possible, and it's big and heavy ... and can tow 3500 lbs:) ... Got a shower at Clear Lake State Park a little after 9pm walking in and out a mile, and car-camped overlooking Clear Lake a mile or 2 away ...



Given that I got this 2025 Toyota Sienna Woodland minivan on 3/4/25 - and re your 'precipitation' word, Ed, especially -  I have some optimism that 'way will open,' and I'll be able to move into a newly safe open Canyon 94516 ... when I wonder ? At the end of this week or sooner? Am sitting now outside the 
'Unitarian Universalist Community of Lake County' (Church) - https://www.uuclc.org/ 
in Kelseyville, CA, of all places, which shares its building with the Kelseyville United Methodist Church interestingly ... Appreciating the vision of Unitarian Universalists, unprogrammed Friends / Quakers, and Yoga + (& Harbin Hot Springs' Heart Consciousness Church too) ... Fascinating NIH scientific paper and abstract on Consciousness and Yoga especially - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8675243/ 
 Thoughts, questions, suggestions? Fond regards, Scott (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Yoga)

Hi Ma, Ed, Pin, ... Interesting to focus on a possible poster for pharmaceuticals to live beyond 122 years old in Agenda item 2 in yesterday's Sat 3/15/25 WUaS Monthly Business Meeting - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/03/snow-mountain-wilderness-ca.html ... and potentially by turning these into a Stanford Medicine Drug Discovery poster for April 2025 - MIT Harvard 2025 "How to Grow (Almost) Anything" (HTGAA) synthetic biology course questions, and WUaS as well -

How to live beyond 122 yo  ? ... and by also first modeling and coding for 1 Genetic Circuits 2 Cell Replication & 3 a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics ... ALL in 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth (re #RealisticVirtualHarbin) & at WUaS ... Thoughts? Fond regards, Scott



Ed, Pin, Ma: Ed- as named WUaS Chief Medical Officer ... Thoughts about pharmacologist researchers at Kaiser Permanente to collaborate with ? Pin - re your sister Harvard Medical School professor, Maitreyi Mazumdar ... Might she be able to reach out to HMS prof of genetics' George Church further about such a collaboration with MIT OCW-centric World University and School even ? - Scott (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/genes & http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/longevity)
