Miwok

So I'm lurking on REI, ogling at the Gregory Maya bag I want to get, when I chance upon its male counterpart, the Gregory Miwok. Picture courtesy of REI.com .

Miwok sounds like ewok, but it's not a cute furry thing. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miwok :

Miwok (also spelled Miwuk, Mi-Wuk, or Me-Wuk) can refer to any one of four linguistically-related groups of Native Americans, who lived in what is now Northern California, who spoke one of the MiwokanUtian family. The word Miwok means people in their native language.
