Minnie Macomber

We mourn the passing of Minnie Spott Macomber. The Spott family — her grandfather Captain Spott, one of the most knowledgable Yurok elders of the turn of the 20th century; her mother Alice Spott; her uncle Robert Spott, who wrote a famous book about Yurok culture and history; and Minnie herself &mdash have selflessly dedicated themselves to preserving and teaching their people's language and culture. Our deepest sympathies go to Minnie's family and loved ones.
