Redwood Tree Fact: "KIHL" Is An Ancient Yurok Tribal Word For "Redwood Tree"

Really recently, I have been searching for some (any) Native American God(s) that may have been believed to preside over Redwood Trees.



My search led me to a Californian Native American tribe called the Yurok. I stumbled onto a Yurok language dictionary at http://corpus.linguistics.berkeley.edu/~yurok/web/lexicon.html that had the word, "KIHL" meaning Redwood Tree in the Yurok language.



The pronunciation can be heard at http://www.spellbook.info/magocracy/kihl.mp3



This was great progress, though I would still like to find out if there were any (Native American or other) Gods in History or the Present that would be believed to preside over Redwood Trees.



Anyone knowing and willing to share this information, please leave a comment on this post!



Thank You,


Josh Cramer
