Athapascan Indians; Indians of North America -- California
33. ho-un´-kut (M). Former village on the W side of Redwood
Cr. about 1/2 mi. from ke-tan-nah´-tah^{ch}-ting but on the
opposite side of the creek. The name is nearly the same as that of
the lowermost village of the tribelet.
34. tah^{ch}-ch[=a]-nahl´-ting (M). Large village on the E
side of Redwood Cr. just below Tom Bair's, near the big barn and
sheep corral.
35. tahs-ung´-ch[=a]-kut (tah^{ch}-sahn-che-ting) (M). Former
village about 200 yds. above tah^{ch}-ch[=a]-nahl´-ting on the E
side of the creek.
There are also a number of villages for which the locations are
uncertain. The following names are from Merriam's notes, and the
villages are situated on or near the Bald Hills Ridge between villages 9
and 16.
tahnch-wing-es-hon-ting.
kahtch-wahn-to-ting. Summer camp.
ke-wah´-ahn-tis-ting. Camp on the ridge at the line fence
between Lyon's and Stoffer's ranches.
tos-kahtch´-ting. Camp on the ridge at Cold Spring 1/2 mi.
above ke-wah´-ahn-tis-ting.
tah^{ch}mah-no-ah´-ting. Summer camp on Bald Hills Ridge.
One more village is given by both Merriam and Goddard, transcribed
dah´-sun´-chah-kut by the former and dasûntcakût by the latter. They
both say that it was supposed to have been near village no. 31. Goddard
thinks that it was a separate name for a part of village 31 "as is
customary in this region."
_Kloki Whilkut villages._--Most of the information on this group
comes from Merriam's notes. Goddard's account of the Chilula Indians
of Northeastern California (1914_a_) goes only as far as the first
two villages, which he maintains are part of the Lower Redwood group.
Merriam claims they belong to the Upper Redwood group. I have accepted
Merriam's version and these groups are rearranged on the basis of his
information. Goddard's Chilula Texts (1914_b_) mentions a few villages
of this group but no locations are given, so they have not been
included. (See maps 15 and 16.)
36. mis´-m[)e]h (M). Former village on the E side of Redwood
Cr. 1-1/2 mi. below kah´-kus-tah^{ch}-ting.
misme, "slide in" (G). Former village situated near the creek
on the E side. Many Indians were killed here by the white people.
Perhaps that is why this village was not mentioned by some of the
informants.
37. kah´-kus-tah^{ch}-ting (M). Former village on Redwood Cr.
at the junction of Sweathouse Cr., whose name it bears. About 2 mi.
below Berry Bridge.
