tsinsilladiñ, "bones lie place" (G). Former village not far
from Redwood Cr. on a small flat where the ground shows signs of
having slid. Little Henry's family are said to have lived at this
village.
16. kittc[=u]namediñ, "its ear swimming place" (G). Summer
camp on the W side of the main ridge, about 200 ft. below its

17. t[=o]'n-t[)e]-nahn´-ting (t[=o]n-din-nun-ting) (M). Old
village on the E side of Redwood Cr. Ned Woodward, who was born
here, tells me the village was on a side hill at or very near
Stoffer's.
t[=o]ndinûndiñ, "water facing place" (G). Village site on the
sloping hillside about 700 yds. E of Redwood Cr. and 400 yds. N of
Lacks Cr. Seven house pits were found here. The guide, Dan Hill,
did not know of these pits, but located a village of this name
considerably nearer Redwood Cr. The Albers place, probably the
first settlement in this region, is just S of this village, on a
flat between Redwood Cr. and Lacks Cr.

camp right at Stoffer's on the ridge about a mile above (S of)
t[=o]s-kahtch-ting (Cold Spring) and approximately midway between
Bair's and Berry's. At Stoffer's, formerly Hooker's, there is
a place called koo^{ch}-mit-tah^{ch} or kew^{ch}-mit-tah^{ch},
meaning "between the alders," but it appears to be a place name
only.

Howard place.
y[=i]nûkan[=o]mittsediñ, "south door place" (G). Former large
and important village, often mentioned in myths and tales by both
