  Derivation 
  unknown. 
  

  

  Concerning 
  this 
  language 
  Gibbs, 
  as 
  above 
  cited, 
  states 
  as 
  follows-. 
  

  

  The 
  language 
  of 
  the 
  Chimakum 
  "differs 
  materially 
  from 
  either 
  

   that 
  of 
  the 
  Clallams 
  or 
  the 
  Nisqually. 
  and 
  is 
  not 
  understood 
  by 
  any 
  

   of 
  their 
  neighbors. 
  In 
  fact, 
  they 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  maintained 
  it 
  a 
  State 
  

   secret. 
  To 
  what 
  family 
  it 
  will 
  ultimately 
  be 
  referred, 
  cannot 
  now 
  

   be 
  decided." 
  

  

  Eells 
  also 
  asserts 
  the 
  distinctness 
  of 
  this 
  language 
  from 
  any 
  of 
  its 
  

   neighbors. 
  Neither 
  of 
  the 
  above 
  authors 
  assigned 
  the 
  language 
  fam- 
  

   ily 
  rank, 
  and 
  accordingly 
  Mr. 
  Gatschet, 
  who 
  has 
  made 
  a 
  compari- 
  

   son 
  of 
  vocabularies 
  and 
  finds 
  the 
  language 
  to 
  be 
  quite 
  distinct 
  from 
  

   any 
  other, 
  gives 
  it 
  the 
  above 
  name. 
  

  

  The 
  Chimakum 
  are 
  said 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  formerly 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  largest 
  

   and 
  most 
  powerful 
  tribes 
  of 
  Puget 
  Sound. 
  Their 
  warlike 
  habits 
  early 
  

   tended 
  to 
  diminish 
  their 
  numbers, 
  and 
  when 
  visited 
  by 
  Gibbs 
  in 
  1854 
  

   they 
  counted 
  only 
  about 
  seventy 
  individuals. 
  This 
  small 
  remnant 
  

   occupied 
  some 
  fifteen 
  small 
  lodges 
  on 
  Port 
  Townsend 
  Bay. 
  Accord- 
  

   ing 
  to 
  Gibbs 
  " 
  their 
  territory 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  embraced 
  the 
  shore 
  from 
  

   Port 
  Townsend 
  to 
  Port 
  Ludlow." 
  ' 
  In 
  1884 
  there 
  were, 
  according 
  to 
  

  

  ■Dr. 
  Boas 
  was 
  informed 
  in 
  1889, 
  by 
  a 
  surviving 
  Chimakum 
  woman 
  and 
  several 
  

   Clallam, 
  that 
  (lie 
  tribe 
  was 
  confined 
  to 
  the 
  peninsula 
  between 
  Hood's 
  Canal 
  and 
  

   Port 
  Townsend.
