Native American Tribes series.

Wappo

The Native American Indians who once inhabited the Napa Valley region in Northern California are called the Wappo Indians.  An Americanization of Spanish Guapo. “brave,” given them on account of their stubborn resistance to Spanish military aggression. Also called Ash-o-chl-mi, a name given by Powers (1877); and,   Soteomellos or Sotomieyos, names given by Taylor (1860-63). With 10,000 years of ancestry in the region, it is no wonder that the name Napa Valley, which means "land of plenty" comes from the Wappo language. When the tribe was at its peak there were upwards of 8,000 members. What was once a tribe known for being peaceful, brave, and hardworking is now a tribe almost completely wiped out - the 1910 Census returned only 73.
