Athapascan Indians; Indians of North America -- California
Powers (1877) calls this village Tish-tan-a-tan. According to
Merriam's notes the Yurok name for it is Peht-sau-an and this is
the name Gibbs uses for it. Gibbs says there are 9 houses here,
whereas Goddard shows 13.
12. 'has-lin-ting (M). On the E bank of lower Trinity R. 3 mi.
above Hoopa V. proper. This is the uppermost village classed as
Hupa.
xaslindiñ (G). About 3 mi. S of the valley proper on the E
bank of the river at the mouth of a creek of the same name (Horse
Linto Cr.). Nine houses are shown at this village.
haslinding, "waterfall place" (C). On the E bank about 3 mi.
above djishtangading and the same distance beyond the limits of the
valley. The name is preserved in Horse Linto Cr.
Powers (1877) calls this village hass-lin-tung. According to
Kroeber (1925, p. 129), the Yurok name for this village is yati but
Waterman (1920, p. 188) gives wo'xtoi. This last would correspond
to Gibbs's wauch-ta, which is shown with an approximately correct
location except that it is on the wrong side of the river. This
village is said to have had six houses.
13. seh-ach-pe-ya (Gibbs' map, pl. 9). This is no doubt a
Yurok name, as are all those given by Gibbs, but no one else has
recorded it. There are said to have been four houses here.
14. wang-ulle-watl (Gibbs' map, pl. 9). Again this is probably
a Yurok name. There are said to have been three houses.
15. wang-ulle-wutle-kauh (Gibbs' map, pl. 9). This is probably
a Yurok name. There is said to have been one house here. Kauh is a
Yurok suffix meaning "opposite."
Gibbs also gives a town called weitspek on the W side of the Trinity
just below the mouth of South Fork. There are said to have been three
houses here. Merriam asked about this village and its existence was
denied by his informants.
