"Language" section
I removed the following, which appeared in a local publication, written by a tribal member, and therefore cannot be considered a reliable source. I'm posting it here, rather than simply deleting it, because it does have some facts that are interesting/relevant that might be confirmed in another manner. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 04:56, 16 September 2021 (UTC)


 * The Koi and the Elem tribe are known to have the longest continual human habitation of one area in all of North America, that span being 14,000-21,000 years. The areas included are from Lower Lake and all of Clearlake for the Koi to Clearlake Oaks for the Elem. The Koi people had a simple way of life based on the complex spiritual connection with the living environment of the surrounding area. All natural things are considered to have been created by the Creator and should be embraced and respected. The Koi ancestors and those of the Elem and Kamdot tribes shared a common language which is of the Hokan language root. It is believed to be one of the oldest languages in the entire state. The Koi have revived their language and along with resources found at UC Berkeley. A couple of the tribal members attended language classes at UC Berkeley called the Breath of Life Tenth Biennial Workshop. The tribe currently offers classes on how to speak, read, and write in Koi.

In the book, which I got through a local library, the Koi Nation is not listed in the index, and page 155 is the second page of a description of the Wiyot tribal group. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 23:35, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
