218 ETHNOGRAPHY. 



8. T. IAKON, OR YAKONES, OR SOUTHERN KILLAMUKS. 



A small tribe, numbering six or seven hundred, who live on the 

 coast, south of the Usietshawus, from whom they differ merely in 

 language. 



9. T. LUTUAMI, OR TLAMATL, OR CLAMET INDIANS. 



The first of these names is the proper designation of the people in 

 their own language. The second is that by which they are known 

 to the Chinooks, and through them, to the whites. They live on the 

 head waters of the river and about the lake, which have both received 

 from foreigners the name of Clamet. They are a warlike tribe, and 

 frequently attack the trading-parties which pass through their country, 

 on the way to California. They seem to be engaged in constant 

 hostilities with their neighbors, the Shasties and Palaiks, one object 

 of which is to obtain slaves, whom they sell to the Waiilatpu, and 

 the Indians of the Willammet. 



10. V. S A S T E, OR S H A S T Y. 

 11. W. PALAIHNIH, OR PALAIKS. 



These two tribes live, the former to the southwest, and the latter to 

 the southeast, of the Lutuami. Little is known of them, except that 

 they lead a wandering, savage life, and subsist on game and fruit. 

 They are dreaded by the traders, who expect to be attacked in 

 passing through their country. Their numbers, however, as well 

 as those of the Lutuami, have been of late greatly diminished by 

 disease, and all three tribes together are supposed not to comprise 

 more than twelve hundred individuals. The women of the Saste, 

 and perhaps of the other tribes, are tattooed in lines from the mouth 

 to the chin. In Northern California the same fashion exists, among 



7 O 



the tribes of the interior. 



12. SHOSHONEES, OR SNAKE INDIANS. 

 X. SHOSHONI. Y. WIHINASHT. 



By the accounts which we received, this is a very widely extended 

 people. The Slioshdni and Pdnasht (Bonnaks) of the Columbia, the
