According to the Hoopah, as told me by James Chesbro of Burnt Ranch, the First People are called Kit-tung´-whi or Devil People. They used to fight and kill and eat one another. Later they turned into animals. After the Flood real (Indian) people came. In early days the Indians used to get drunk from inhaling the fumes of Indian tobacco (Min´-t[=a] itch´-wah) which by deep breathing they would take into the lungs. Their word for drunk is Ho-n[=a]^{ch}-w[)i]h^{ch}. The expression for "many people drunk" is Yah, ho-n[=a]^{ch}-w[)e]^{ch}. The word for an old person is Kis´-te-ahn; for an old object, Tah´-ne. There are two words for good: Chung-whoom for a good or kind person; and Noo-wh[=o]m for a good thing or object. A bad person is To choong-k[=o]m, "not good person"; while a thing that is not good is To noo^{ch}-k[=o]m, "not good thing." Chin-tahs, "slow", is said to mean also "heavy"; but the word given me for heavy is Nit-tahs´. The word Ho´-chit, meaning real or genuine, occurs frequently: Thus, deerskin tanned with the hair on is called Ho´-chit te, te being any blanket or toga. Similarly, the ordinary woman's apron made of pine nuts and braided grass is Ho´-che ke´-ah; the woman's hat, H[=o]-che k[=o]s´-tahn, or real hat; moccasins, Hoch y[=a]´-che-tahl; the bow, H[=o]-ch[)e] tsitch-ting; the stone arrow-point, H[=o]-ch[)e] tin-ti; Indian or wild tobacco, H[=o]-che Min´-t[=a]-itch´-wah; the elkhorn box or purse for valuables H[=o]´-che kin´-chah. The Hoopah say that their people did not use the nose-bone or nose-stick, but had a name for it, which is Hun-choo whang-i. They say these were worn by the Indians farther north. The women tattooed the chin, usually in three broad vertical bands similar to those of the Klamath River tribes. Tattoo marks are called Wil´-tahch´. Place names: All place names along the rivers were at one time the sites of villages or rancherias. The village always takes the name of the place.
