Eunice Bommelyn
Eunice Xash-wee-tes-na Henry Bommelyn (February 6, 1927 – April 23, 2012) was an American Tolowa cultural advocate, Tolowa language proponent, and tribal historian. Bommelyn was the last living person to speak Tolowa as a native first language; Bommelyn led the effort to revive fluency and teach the language.〔 She uncovered and recorded the genealogy of the Tolowa from the present to the 1790s. Her genealogical records are used to determine the membership and enrollment of the Smith River Rancheria, the federally recognized tribe of Tolowa people in Del Norte County, California. Bommelyn was the mother of Loren Bommelyn, a ceremonial leader and basket weaver.〔

Her maternal grandparents were Westbrook and Delilah Charley and her paternal grandparents were Ik-fu-yu-wan and Jane Henry.〔 Her mother, Alice Henry, required that she attend high school.〔 In 1947, she became the first of her nine siblings to complete high school upon her graduation from Del Norte High School in Crescent City, California.〔 She found a job within the local lily bulb farming industry after high school. There she met her future husband, James Bommelyn, who had moved to Del Norte from Trinity County, California, to find work.〔 James Bommelyn reportedly jumped on her truck and refused to leave until she agreed to go on a date.
