Native American Tribes series.Chimariko
A small tribe, comprising the Chimarikan family, who formerly lived on the Trinity River, near the mouth of New River in Northern California. They adjoined the Hupa downstream and the Winton upstream. The Chimariko first became known to the whites with the influx of miners about 1850. At that time they were a small tribe, friendly with the Hupa and the neighboring Shastan tribes, but at war with the Winton of Hay Fork of Trinity River. In 1903 they numbered only nine ndividuals, including 'mixed bloods, who lived scattered among Indians of other tribes and among the whites. In general culture, they were much like their neighbors, the Hupa, though they are said to have lacked canoes, and did not practice the deerskin dance of the Hupa and Yurok. They appear to have lived largely on salmon and eels and on vegetal foods, especially acorns. Like the other tribes of northwest California, they had no political organization or divisions other than villages.
