YUKI "TRIBES"

The following data were got from Eben Tillotson at Hulls Valley, north

of Round Valley, on July 12, 1938.

A. Eben said he was a Wi·t'u·knó'm Yuki. This was a "tribe" speaking

a uniform dialect, having uniform customs, but embracing several

"tribelets." Their general territory was along main (or middle) Eel R.

where this runs from E to W, on both sides of it, and S of Round V. They

also owned Oklá·[)c] and Púnki·nipi·[t.] ("wormwood hole"), Poonkiny.

The subdivisions or tribelets were:

[10.6] 1. U[)s]i·[)c]lAlhótno'm

("crayfish-creek-large-people") on Salt Cr., S of Middle Eel.

2. Olkátno'm, at Henley or Hop ranch in S part of Round V.,

where the road enters the flat of the valley. They owned S to the

Middle Eel and down it to Dos Rios confluence.
