L[=o]tceke (G). Village which stood midway in a flat on the E

('hlit-choo-[=a]-nah^{ch}-ten; sit-choo-[)e]-nah^{ch}-ting) (M).
Former village about 3 mi. above Beaver's on the W side of Redwood
Cr. above Lacks Cr.
Littc[=u][w=]innau[w=]diñ, "dust flies place" (G). Site of a
former village on a long flat on the W side of the creek. It is

26. ki´-loo^{ch}-tah^{ch}-ting (M). Camp on
the E side of Redwood Cr. about 1 mi. or less S of

been a large village on a small flat about 1/4 mi. S of the last
mentioned village. There were indications of 3 or 4 house pits.
Molasses' wife said there was once a round dance house in this
village, probably the same type as in the Upper Redwood and Mad
River country.

across from k[=i]'-loo^{ch}-tah^{ch}-ting.

house pits, one of them containing stone implements, were seen.
29. sik´-king´-choo-ma-tah´^{ch}-ting (M). Given as about 2
mi. below Tom Bair's place on the E side of Redwood Cr. Merriam
says he could not find anyone who knew of it.
sikkiñtcwûñmitta'diñ (G). Village occupied in 1914. At the
time of Goddard's visit, it was the home of Tom, a famous blind
medicine man.

kinnax[=o]nta'diñ, "Yurok village place" (G). Important former
village on a flat bordering Redwood Cr. on the E, about 1/4 mi. N

with the volunteer soldiers occurred at this village, in which one
Indian was killed.
32. ke-tan-nah´-tah^{ch}-ting (M). Former village on the site
of Tom Bair's place.
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.

side of Redwood Cr. just below Tom Bair's, near the big barn and

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.
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.
38. t'chil-kahn´-ting (t'ch^{[-l]}-kahn´-ting;
chis-kahn´-ting) (M). Village on the E side of Redwood Cr. just
under the Berry ranch and about 1/4 mi. below the old covered
bridge near Berry's. The village is now moved to a higher point on
the high slope 1/2 mi. farther S.
39. e-nuk´-k[)a]-cheng´-tish-ting (M). Former village where
the Berry ranch house now stands, on the high ground E of Redwood
Cr. Bridge.
40. es-tish´-chem´-m[)e]h (M). Former village on the E side of
Redwood Cr. about 4 mi. above Berry Bridge.
41. tsin´-tes-'ki´-m[)e]h (M). Village on the E side of
Redwood Cr. a little below mes-t[)a]-tim´-teng.
42. mes-t[)a]-tim´-teng (M). Former village on the E side of
Redwood Cr. above es-tish´-chem´-m[)e]h.
43. tah-nah´-nah-kut (M). Village on the E side back from the
creek and above mes-t[)a]-tim´-teng.
44. chim-mah´-non´-ah-kut (M). Former village on the E side of
Redwood Cr. at Bonny Cragan's ranch.
45. ni´-is-'kwahl´-l[)a]-kut (M). Former village at the head
of Redwood Cr. The last and southernmost village of the group. A
view of the territory here is shown in pl. 10, _d_.
Merriam lists for this group five other villages, which could not be
located. Presumably they are in correct sequence between village no. 44
and village no. 45.
ts[=a]´-nah-ti´-[)a]-kut. Village on the E side of Redwood Cr.
far up, near Chaparral Mt.
'klesh-mah´-kut. Former village on the ridge on the E side of
Redwood Cr.
m[=a]´-m[=a]-[)a]-kut. Former big village on m[=a]´-ma-kut
creek.
'klew-taw-m[)e]-ting. Former village on the E side of Redwood
Cr.
nahs-kah´-nah-kut. Former village high up on Redwood Cr.
_North Fork villages._--The information on this group comes from
Merriam's notes (M) and from Loud (1918) (L). (See map 15.)
