Athapascan Indians; Indians of North America -- California
9. tadûttc[=i]' (G). On the E side of the Eel not far above
t[=o][-l]tciñyasta', at the mouth of a large creek in which salmon
run (tadak[=o]k, Thompson Cr.?). Above Camp Grant.
10. tcillûñdûñ (G). On the E side of the Eel 1/4 mi.
above tadûttc[=i]'. An open place without a creek. (Given as
k[=i]lûndûñk[=i]a by Charlie in 1903.)
11. ne'gakak, "moss"? (G). On the W side of the Eel opposite
tcillûñdûñ.
12. ne'tcink[=o]k (G). At the mouth of a creek on the W side
of the Eel some way above ne'gakak.
13. gactc[=o]bi', "redwoods in" (G). In a large open flat
among the redwoods on the E side of the Eel above ne'tcink[=o]k.
Given by Charlie in 1903 as kûctc[=o]bek[=i]a on the S side.
14. On the E side of the Eel just S of a creek which flows
down a steep rough bed on a rather high bench are 4 pits. The
ground is black with refuse and cooking stones lie about. The river
enters a canyon N of this creek. A round timbered butte is close to
the mouth of the creek on the N. A great timbered butte seems to
occupy the E bank of the river for several miles.
15. seda'dûn, "rock mouth place" (G). On the E side (W also?),
where the river flows out between rocks. A small creek is there.
About 2 mi. above gactc[=o]bi'.
_Lolangkok Sinkyone villages on South Fork (map 11)._--
16. [-l]tcûnta'dûñ (G). Said to have been on the W side of
South Fork and the S side of the Eel R., where the store and saloon
of Dyerville now stand.
chin-tah´-tah (M). The flat occupied by Dyerville; this is no
doubt the same as the name given by Goddard.
17. kahs-cho´-chin-net´-tah (M). A large village on Bull Cr.
about 7 mi. upstream from Dyerville. The place is now known as
Schoolhouse Flat.
18. [-l][=o]lûñk[=i]' (G). On the S bank of Bull Cr. at its
mouth, in large redwood timber. There were 10 pits along the bank
of South Fork and the pit of a yitco', 8 paces across, about 200
yds. W of the mouth of Bull Cr. A large redwood, hollowed by
fire, had fallen, the floor being 4 ft. below the ground. Charlie
remembered seeing Indians living in it. Charlie thought there used
to be three or four houses on the S side of the creek, but we found
no evidence of them. Three men were once killed here by whites, and
a woman was shot through the hips; she lay here a day or two and
died. One of the white men, named Steve, cut a piece from the arm
of one of the Indians, built a fire, cooked it, and ate it. The
best man of the Indians escaped.
lo-lahn´-k[=o]k (M). Bull Cr. Merriam does not mention a
village at its mouth.
