The Wiyot massacre refers to the incidents on February 26, 1860, at Tuluwat on what is now known as Indian Island, near Eureka in Humboldt County, California.
In coordinated attacks beginning at about 6 am, white settlers murdered eighty to two hundred and fifty Wiyot people with axes, knives, and guns.
The February 26 attacks are followed by similar bloody attacks on other Wiyot villages later that week.
