A state park formerly known as Patrick’s Point in Humboldt County has been re-named and will now be known by its indigenous Yurok name, Sue-Meg.
It’s part of a statewide effort to identify and change derogatory names attached to parks and transportation systems.
We spoke to L.A. Times staff writer Leila Seidman and Skip Lowry, who is a Yurok descendant and community organizer.
