Tee'-now k'e-chek?
"Who is your mother?"

Yurok family structures differ from modern living arrangements. Children would live in the family 'o'-lehl (house) with the women and men would live in the sweat house for most of the year. Women and men had different roles. When boys were old enough to learn from the men, they would move into the sweathouse with them.
