Tuluka (orTulucay;[1]Re-ho,Tu-lo-kai-di-sel,Tulkays) is a formerPatwin village inNapa County,California.[2] It was located southeast ofNapa,[1] but its precise location is unknown.[2]
Clinton Hart Merriam suggests that it may be identified with the town of Napa, and formed part of the northern boundary of the Pooewin, a group "always at war with the Patwin". He notes the former existence of a Too-loo'-kahranchería "a short distance southeast of Napa", later owned byCayetano Juárez as part ofRancho Tulucay and then the site of an asylum (presumably theNapa State Hospital). Merriam also questioned whether the people of the Too-loo'-kah ranchería were indigenous to Napa, or whether they might have been brought there from somewhere else by the Spanish.[3]
Alfred Kroeber states that the name of the place means "red".[4]
