  INDIAN 
  LINGUISTIC 
  FAMILIES. 
  

  

  were 
  believed 
  to 
  be 
  divided. 
  " 
  These 
  races 
  resembled 
  one 
  another 
  

   in 
  every 
  respect 
  but 
  language." 
  

  

  Hale 
  gives 
  short 
  vocabularies 
  of 
  the 
  Pujuni, 
  Sekunme, 
  and 
  Tsamak. 
  

   Hale 
  did 
  not 
  apparently 
  consider 
  the 
  evidence 
  as 
  a 
  sufficient 
  basis 
  

   for 
  a 
  family, 
  but 
  apparently 
  preferred 
  to 
  leave 
  its 
  status 
  to 
  be 
  set 
  tied 
  

   later. 
  

  

  GEOGRAPHIC 
  DISTRIBUTION. 
  

  

  The 
  tribes 
  of 
  this 
  family 
  have 
  been 
  carefully 
  studied 
  by 
  Powers, 
  

   to 
  whom 
  we 
  art- 
  indebted 
  for 
  most 
  all 
  we 
  know 
  of 
  their 
  distribution. 
  

   They 
  occupied 
  the 
  eastern 
  bank 
  of 
  the 
  Sacramento 
  in 
  California, 
  be- 
  

   ginning 
  some 
  80 
  or 
  100 
  miles 
  from 
  its 
  mouth, 
  and 
  extended 
  north- 
  

   ward 
  to 
  within 
  a 
  short 
  distance 
  of 
  Pit 
  River, 
  where 
  they 
  met 
  the 
  

   tribes 
  of 
  the 
  Palaihnihan 
  family. 
  Upon 
  the 
  east 
  they 
  reached 
  nearly 
  

   to 
  the 
  border 
  of 
  the 
  State, 
  the 
  Palaihnihan.
