In commenting on the article on the Hispanic community of Humboldt County ("Preparados," April 9), Joshua Kinch from Eureka wrote, "This is the first group in our history to insist on not assimilating, and using their language and culture instead of ours" ("Mailbox," April 30). If this were true, wouldn't we in Eureka and Arcata be speaking Wiyot?
