God’s Country
When we were growing up I often heard this term: God’s country. It impressed me then and still does. Karuk country is a very special place. We’re located in northwestern California along what is referred to as the “middle stretch” of the Klamath River. Ours is a mountainous landscape with so much natural abundance and potential for adventure.
The accompanying video was taken during a recent journey to gather one of our favorite foods: acorns, xuntápan. After gathering for a while (they weren’t quite ready), we drove on up into the mountains. It was very nice.
Enjoy the video.
