Mattole River : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mattole River
The Mattole River is a river on the north coast of California, that flows northerly, then westerly into the Pacific Ocean. A short section of the river flows through northern Mendocino County, but the vast majority of its course is through southern Humboldt County. Communities, from north to south, closely associated with the Mattole River include: Petrolia, Honeydew, Ettersburg, Thorn Junction, and Whitethorn. The river enters the ocean at the Mattole Estuary about west-southwest of Petrolia and south of Cape Mendocino. ==History== "Mattole" refers to an Athabaskan Indian people, the Mattole. They historically called themselves ''Mattóal'' or ''bedool'', but were called by neighboring Wyott Indians ''Medol'' or ''me'tuul''.〔 The Mattole lived principally on the Mattole and Bear rivers. This war-like tribe was practically exterminated because of its resistance to white settlers during the Bald Hills War. The local tradition is that ''Mattole'' means "clear water".〔
