_Chilula Whilkut villages._--The information on the villages and camps
of the Chilula Whilkut comes from Merriam's notes and from Goddard's
published material (1914). It appears that Merriam made a systematic
effort to check Goddard's material, thereby enhancing the value of their
combined work. (See map 15.)
[Illustration: Map 15. Villages of the Chilula Whilkut, North Fork
Whilkut, and Kloki Whilkut (see also map 16).]
1. ho-wung´-ah-kut (M). In the Bald Hills N of Redwood Cr.
Northernmost and lowest village.
x[=o]wûnnakût (G). Village probably situated about a mile
E of Redwood Cr. on a small flat S of a ridge along which the
Trinidad trail used to run. A small creek a short distance S,
entering Redwood Cr. from the E, would have furnished excellent
salmon fishing. A depression resembling those characteristic of
sweathouses was seen. Tom Hill's oldest brother used to live at
this village, which was deserted many years ago, probably because
of its nearness to the trail.
2. no-l[)e]h´-ting (M). Village on Redwood Cr. about 12 mi.
from the coast. The name means "falls."
n[=o]lediñ, "waterfall place" (G). This former large village
remained occupied until 1888, when the Hill family left it and
moved to Hoopa V. The site is at the foot of a long glade which
slopes toward the creek nearly a half-mile distant. A spring N of
the village site supplies water. In the edge of the timber, which
approaches the village site within a few yards on the N, are two
large redwood trees, hollow, with large openings toward the S. In
these trees families used to spend the winter. During our visit in
1906 we spent a rainy afternoon in one of them in which a fire was
maintained, the smoke escaping through the high opening in the side.
The village derived its name and perhaps its existence from
a hole, or waterfall, a short distance up the stream. The creek
bed was formerly choked with huge boulders, causing a fall, which
was jumped by the salmon with difficulty. The fishing for both
salmon and lamprey eels, carried on with nets below the fall, was
excellent. Since the village has been abandoned, several of these
boulders have been displaced so a fall of only 3 ft. remains.
3. y[=i]tsinneakûttciñ, "down hill on" (G). Camp site W of
n[=o]lediñ, about halfway up the ridge W of Redwood Cr. The Indians
from n[=o]lediñ used to camp there to gather the acorns of the tan
oak, which are plentiful among the redwood trees.
4. L[=o]tsx[=o]tdawillindiñ, "prairie water flows down place"
(G). Summer camp about 1-1/2 mi. E of n[=o]lediñ and 1/2 mi. W of
the crest of the ridge. A hollow redwood tree used to be used as a
camping place.
5. tcitdeelyediñ, "dancing place" (G). Glade on a ridge
running toward the E near a branch of Roach Cr., a tributary of the
Klamath. This camp was pointed out from a distance and its exact
location is therefore uncertain. The Indians used to go there from
n[=o]lediñ in the summer to gather seeds and in the fall for acorns.
6. klo-tshim´-m[)e]y (M). Camp on Redwood Cr. 1 mi. above
no-l[)e]h´-ting.
L[=o]tcimme, "small glade in" (G). A former village about a
mile upstream from n[=o]lediñ and 75 yds. E of Redwood Cr., where
it stood in an opening of about an acre. Obscure depressions like
house pits were seen on the N side of the glade near a stream
which provided drinking-water. A weir for lamprey eels used to be
built in Redwood Cr. near by.
7. ho^{ch}-tahn-ho-lah´-ting (M). On the E side of Redwood Cr.
above klo-tshim´-m[)e]y. There is some doubt as to its location.
8. king-keo´-'hli (king-keo´-h[)e]-l[=a]) (M). Summer camp on
top of the hill or ridge in Bald Hills about a mile E of Jonathan
Lyon's ranch house.
kiñky[=o]lai, "big timber point" (G). Large and important
former village situated on the eastern end of a ridge above
Jonathan Lyon's ranch house and about a mile E of it. There is
timber on the northern slope of the ridge. At the edge of the
timber is a spring which supplied the village with water. Besides
the sweathouse site, seventeen house pits were counted. This
village was the home of the Socktish family, many of whom are now
living with the Hupa. The head of the family at the time of the
coming of white people was a man of influence and a noted warrior.
His name was KiLtcil, "crazy." His wife was a Hupa woman and
perhaps for that reason the family moved to Hoopa V.
9. senalmatsdiñ, "stone round place" (G). Summer camp for
gathering seeds in the glade on the S side of the main ridge E of
kiñky[=o]lai.
10. tesaikut, "projects to water" (G). Camp ground frequented
in the fall of the year for gathering tanoak acorns and hunting
deer by the Indians living at n[=o]lediñ and kiñky[=o]lai. It is on
the NE slope of the ridge W of Tully Cr.
11. king-y[)e]-ke´-ke-ah-mung´-ah (king´-ke-kaw´-mung´-ah)
(M). Village on the E side of Redwood Cr. at the mouth of Coyote
Cr. a little above ho^{ch}-tahn-ho-lah´-ting, and a little above
Lyon's place.
kiñyûkky[=o]mûña, "big timber near" (G). This site was not
visited. It is said to be on the N side of Coyote Cr. below a large
rock. There are said to be house pits there. Tom Hill said this
was the village where the people who lived at kiñky[=o]lai spent
the colder months of the winter. It is unlikely that two permanent
villages were maintained by the same families. Perhaps the site of
kiñky[=o]lai is the more recent and it was formerly only a summer
camping place.
12. kitdiLwissakût, "fire drill on" (G). Camp used in the fall
for gathering acorns and hunting. Situated near the corner of the
Hoopa reservation in a glade sloping toward the S, near a spring.
13. new-wil-tso´-me-ah, "coyote camp" (M). Spring and summer
camp on Bald Hills Ridge.
n[=u]wils[=o]lm[=i]ye, "ground in billows under" (G).
Summer camping ground near a cold spring at the head of one of
the branches of Coyote Cr. The Indians used to come here from
n[=o]lediñ.
