Yurok Geography

(Oct. 15, 2009)  Before the idea of continental drift,

before there were maps

that depicted this continent,

the Klamath River bisected the world.

Traveling upriver you came to salt water,

downriver, to salt water again.

Every journey from the center

came to the fog at the edge of the earth.
