History
The Mattole Indians traditionally lived in what is now northwestern California near the Oregon border. Today, their descendants live mostly on the Rohnereville Rancheria.

Additional References to the History of the Tribe
Frederick Webb Hodge, in his Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico, gave a more complete history of the Mattole tribe, with estimations of the population of the tribe at various time periods. Additional details are given in John Swanton's The Indian Tribes.
