- Educational Notes
- These women are part of the Yaquina tribe, a tribe of Native Americans from the west coast of Oregon. In the early 1700s, the Yaquina tribe was its own entity since it had had a separate culture and identity from other Native American tribes in the area. However, in the 1800s many settlers began to arrive to the area. The people of the Yaquina tribe acquired smallpox and other diseases from the new bacteria introduced by the settlers. Sadly, the tribes population was greatly diminished, losing over eighty percent! Because of this, the tribe was forced to join with other tribes. This forced the Yaquina tribe to lose its cultural customs and identity. There are very few true survivors of the Yaquina tribe because many tribe members married and had children with members of the joined tribes.
