EUREKA, Calif. -- Each year, the Wiyot Tribe holds an annual candlelight
vigil to remember those who lost their lives in the 1860 massacre on Indian
Island, located in Humboldt Bay. The Wiyot people have held the vigil for
15 years, with members of the community and others from surrounding tribes
in attendance. With solemn prayers, poems and song, it is a time of healing
for all people in the area.
The massacre took place on Feb. 26, 1860, when settlers from Eureka, armed
with clubs, hatchets and knives, paddled a boat quietly through the early
morning hours to the island, which is the center of the Wiyot world.
