Athapascan Indians; Indians of North America -- California
kaxûsta'diñ, "Philadelphus among place" (G). Former village of
importance on a flat of about 2 ac., near the creek level on the E
side. Four house pits were found on the N side of the flat and four
others in a row about midway of the flat. Two other pits, one of
them near the creek, were probably sweathouses. The flat is called
"Sweathouse Flat" by white people. This village is considered by
the Hupa the last of the villages of the x[=o]ilkûty[=i]dexoi,
or Chilula. It was the last toward the S from which Indians were
allowed to witness the Hupa dances. The Chilula also seem to accept
this as their boundary.
