Athapascan Indians; Indians of North America -- California
kai[-l]tcitadAñ, "redbud place" (G). This was apparently near
Merriam's s[=a]h-gah´-ket.
[These different names may not represent the same village. If
these were two villages, they were very close together. Goddard
gives kai[-l]tcitadAñ as the name of another village N of North
Fork (no. 43) so it may be an error here (see pl. 11, b for a view
of this region).]
61. tsEgolkAllinseyE (G). A rock shelter situated back from
the river a short distance above McDonald Cr. The Indians lived
here in the winter.
62. ne-che´-cho-ket (M). On the E side of the Eel about a mile
S of the mouth of North Fork. It was apparently opposite part of
the elongate village ning-ken-ne´-tset (no. 19). "Salmon stop here;
great fishing; rocky place; Red Hill ground" (Tip).
nE[-l]tcikyok'at, "ground red large on" (G). On a point of
land running down to the river on the E side just above nEtacbi',
the fishing place of the region.
[Goddard adds some information which explains the statement
of Merriam's informant. He says, "About two-thirds of a mile below
the mouth of McDonald Creek a number of large rocks lie in the bed
of the river. This place is called nEtacbi', 'land slide in,' and
seems to have been a noted fishing place."]
63. sah-nah´-chung-kut, sah-nah-chin´-che ke´-ah-hahng (M).
On the E side of the Eel R. 1-1/2 or 2 mi. S of the mouth of North
Fork and near McDonald Cr. (Tip).
64. sel-di´-kot (M). On the E side of the Eel R. S of Bell
Springs Cr. (Maj).
65. s[)e]-ski´-cho-ding (M). Claimed as a Wailaki village
on the E side of the Eel R. at White Rock near Big Bend. On the
opposite side of the river from Bell Springs Station (Tip).
se[-l]GaitcodAñ (G). On a flat on the E side of the river.
"The east and west section line dividing sections 84 and 85 of T.
24 N., R. 14 W. was noted as passing through this flat."
[These two names doubtless represent the same village; the
names are similar and the locations are the same.]
66. chin-to´-bin-nung (M). On the upper part of McDonald Cr.,
about 3 mi. up from the Eel (Maj).
67. chus-nah-teg-gul-lah chen-ne-tung (M). An old village
about 2 mi. S of North Fork and 3 mi. E of the Eel.
PLACE NAMES
The following list includes ethnogeographic information taken from
Merriam's notes in addition to information on creeks from Goddard
(1923_a_), the latter being especially important because most villages
are located with respect to streams. All streams and rivers may be found
on map 5. Locations of other features have been given after consulting
the appropriate United States Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle
but they are not shown on the map. For this area the quadrangles are
Alderpoint (1951), Hoaglin (1935), Leggett (1952), and Spyrock (1952).
Asbill Cr.--djoñot (G).
Bell Springs Cr.--sAlt´okot (G).
