Tolowa Dee-ni'.

Though the patrilineal Tolowa acquired wealth to gain prestige, their society lacked social stratification. They lived in eight permanent river villages in what is today northwestern California and southwestern Oregon, with houses of square horizontal-set split redwood planks with sloping roofs. They exploited sea mammals, fish, land mammals, and numerous plant foods, particularly acorns. Each village controlled clamming beaches, sea stacks, berry patches, and adjacent wooded areas.
