The Smith River
Friday took us from Little River to Smith River, the current seat of the Tolowa Dee-Ni' Nation. We had hoped to get some interpretive experience of these peoples, but the pandemic has slowed the peoples' cultural outreach.
On our arrival at the Howonquet Lodge where we are staying, the clerk suggested that we go out to the mouth of the Smith River where sea lions, pelicans, and cormorants greeted us.

| These are sea lions, hard at work |

| More sea lions |
