Important Figures
Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to find historical figures for this tribe, but there are a few modern figures today. A few that could be named are Rob Cabitto, an author, and Jetty Rae, a musician, but I believe a much more note worthy individual would be Naomi Lang, a figure skater.
Naomi Lang was born in Arcata in 1978. Her Native American name is Maheetah, which can translate to "Morning Star," and I stated above, she is an amazing figure skater. She was the first Native American female to participate in the Winter Olympic games in 2002. Along with her partner, they were Ice Dance Champions from the years 1999 to 2003. After she finishes her ice skating career, she hopes to become a veterinary. |
