South of the 'Ho^{ch}-tin´-net are the M[=a]´-we-nok [Mad R. Whilkut], a related Athapaskan tribe inhabiting the valley of Mad River from the junction of North Fork near Korbel, southerly (upstream) to the Algrehn Ranch on Bug Creek--a distance in a straight line of about 21 miles. The 'Ho^{ch}-tin´-net and the M[=a]´-we-nok say that their languages are so similar that either can understand most of the words of the other. The Hoilkut do not reach the coast, being separated from it by a long mountain ridge, on the west side of which dwell two tribes belonging to widely different linguistic stocks--the Nererner (the southwestern division of the Polikla or Yurok) and the Pahtewaht (the northern division of the Humboldt Bay Soolahteluk [Wiyot]). The Hoilkut say that the coast tribe they call Teswan (the Nererner) owned the land fronting the ocean from Orick at the mouth of Redwood Creek south to Trinidad and extending up Redwood Creek for ten or twelve miles; and that farther south the Pahtewaht of the coast and lower Mad River owned the country up to Blue Lake--possibly to the mouth of North Fork Mad River--all of which agrees with what I have been told by members of these tribes. The Hoilkut state that their lowermost (northernmost) villages, Ha-wung´-ah-kut and No-l[)e]´-tin, were ten or twelve miles up from the mouth of the river. Below these they claim no territory. Above, they had twenty-three permanent villages. The language is uniform throughout Redwood Creek Valley except for one or two slight differences of pronunciation. Thus the first syllable of the tribal name as spoken by the Upper Redwoods is Hoi´^{ch}; by the Lower Redwoods, Ho-[=e]^{ch}.
