Located within Patrick’s Point State Park, the Sumeg village is a recreation of a Yurok village. The site features traditional style family houses, a sweat house, changing houses, a redwood canoe, and a dance house. The village was built by Yurok people using the traditional materials, but with modern tools.
Sumeg was a seasonal fishing camp for the local Yurok tribe, not a permanent village. It was located where Patrick’s Point State Park is presently, which is why the choice was made to call the reconstructed village Sumeg.
