Sometimes the logs wouldn’t have been traditionally chosen because of their condition and flaws. However, he used the opportunity to education hundreds of people on the side of Main St in Trinidad about this elegant Yurok art form. As he was once quoted saying, he would work for 20 minutes, and talk for 2 hours as passerby’s and public would stop to inquire about this unique sight. His wife Bonnie recalls it was common place for him to bring these new found friends home for lunch. His work to preserve and maintain Yurok traditions went beyond canoe making, but this was one avenue that reached so many people. You can still find his canoes in several places including Sumeg Village and the Trinidad Museum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2eca7d9f07f5e4c351607d/1577644230364-3RZWJJBL59YVMNCBOGER/IMG_6069.jpg Home - Tsurai Village The Tsurai Village has been in existence since time in memorial. Located on the northern coast of California, in Humboldt County, the Tsurai enjoyed an elegant lifestyle until European contact by way of Spanish explorers in 1775. The Spanish erected the wooden cross on Tsurewa, and proclaimed the new acquisition for the King of Spain, forever naming the area Trinidad. Since that time, there have been steady changes to Tsurai. Some pieces forever lost, while others remain intact and resilient. The Tsurai people being most resilient piece, and adapting to the times by forming this non-profit to protect the cultural landscape that made up our traditional boundaries. The Tsurai Ancestral Society is made up of documented lineal descendants of the Tsurai village. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2eca7d9f07f5e4c351607d/1599406616489-AOW2DUCI068VA5R3J1FA/image0%282%29.jpeg Home - Yurok Brush Dance The Yurok Brush Dance is a ceremony performed to heal a sick child. Traditionally, this would have occurred in the village where the child lived. Today, Brush Dances are held in fixed locations, such as the Sumeg Village in Patrick’s Point. The Sumeg Village is a demonstrational village that was built for the purposes of education and ceremonial use. From 19-to 19- Axel Lindgren hosted demonstrational brush dances as a way of teaching people from all over the world about Yurok culture. Regalia worn in the photo by Tanna Lindgren, would be traditionally worn on the final day of the ceremony. Maiden girls would dance along with men from the village and others the family of the sick child trusted, as well as the medicine woman who would perform this important ceremony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2eca7d9f07f5e4c351607d/1513282281739-X2A8DPWB7BY7C38H621K/tsuari1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2eca7d9f07f5e4c351607d/1599405752343-4ZVFL7D8NVNGZGTOC4WD/2019-09-29%2B18.43.58-1.jpg Home https://www.tsuraivillage.org/donate-index-impact daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2eca7d9f07f5e4c351607d/1598940390101-UZB3E7999ZG7WZNY7HO4/Adjustments.jpeg Donate Axel Lindgren Jr with some of his grandsons in one of the traditional Yurok canoes he carved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59dbc7c2cf81e0c47e15482d/1509386798700-GZN997HA8TMR0M009X0F/Untitled-3.jpg Donate https://www.tsuraivillage.org/contact daily 0.75 2017-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2eca7d9f07f5e4c351607d/1513547083679-R71JFWLFXVID0JVK6DFK/map.PNG Contact Us
