yuki tribes also lived in Mexico

Answeryuki tribes also lived in Mexico??? who told you that?

NO. we did NOT live in Mexico... not unless you're counting those of my people that were kidnapped and sold as slaves.... in that case, there are yukis in Germany as well. We lived in northern California, in what is now known as round valley/covelo. There was also a "band" (for lack of a better word) of yukis that lived on the coast. Also, there were about eight or nine different names for different 'subsections', if you will, of my tribe that lived in and around the valley & down to potter valley. MY ancestors that lived on the valley floor were Ukomno'm. that means valley people.... The other half from the mountains have another name, yet are essentially the same tribe. The name yuki is derived from a wintun word that means enemy/stranger/foe & was designated the name of our tribe by the europeans that could not pronounce our words.
