A Celebration of Tolowa Culture on TVM-CHAA-ME’ DAY!

On June 14, 2023, local, state, and federal park organizations and the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation came together to celebrate Tvm-chaa-me’ Day, as a kick-off to the 2nd Annual CA State Parks Week! Tvm-chaa-me’ is the Tolowa name for the Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park Day-use area.

For the first time in over 100 years, the people of the Tolowa Dee Ni nation were able to cook salmon traditionally at Tvm-chaa me’. They also demonstrated canoe making out of a fallen old growth redwood log. And overall, the tribe and state park staff brought home how sacred, significant, and unique this area is.

The Mountain Men Rendezvous

Every year in the 4th of July Parade, there’s a rowdy bunch of old time trappers, and the thundering cracks of their black powder pistols. If you weren’t aware these are the Jed Smith Mountain Men, and they do so much more than just the parade. From primitive camping, to coon skin hats, to hawk and knife throwing the Jed Smith Mountain Men are fun folk to congregate with. They meet at the Rowdy Creek gun club on the last Sunday of every month, and host a larger “Rendezvous” once a year. Learn more in this segment from Redwood Voice’s Ethan Caudill-DeRego.
