Chaskpe. A tribe or people mentioned 

 by La Salle in 1683 (Margry, Dec, ii, 314, 

 1877) as having come in company with 

 the Shawnee and Ouabano at his solici- 

 tation to Ft St Louis, 111., his desire being 

 to draw them away from trade with the 

 Spaniards. It is not known to what In- 

 dians the name refers, but from the fact 

 that La Salle speaks of them as allies 

 of the Chickasaw, it is probable that 

 their home was s. of the jiresent Illinois.

Chasta. A tribe, probably Athapascan, 

 residing on Siletz res., Oreg., in 1867, 

 with the Skoton and Umpqua, of which 

 latter they were then said to have formed 

 a part. The Chasta, Skoton, and Umpqua 

 were distinct tribes which concluded a 

 treaty Nov. 18, 1854. The Chasta were 

 divided into the Kwilsieton andNahelta, 

 both residing on Rogue r. J. O. Dorsey 

 thought these may have been identical 

 with Kushetunne and Nakatkhetunne of 

 the Tututunne. Kane, in 1859, located 

 them near Umpqua r. In 1867 the 

 Chasta, the Scoton, and the Umpqua 

 together, at Siletz agency, numbered 49 

 males and 74 females, total 123. They 

 may be identical with the Chastacosta 

 or form a part of the Takilma. They 

 do not seem to have any connection with 

 the Shasta, who did not extend down 

 Rogue r. below Table Rock, and who 

 were generally bitterly at war with their 

 Athapascan neighbors.

Chastacosta {Shista kwusta, their name 

 for themselves, meaning unknown). A 

 groujj of Athapascan villages formerly 

 situated along Rogue r., Oreg., mostly on 

 its N. bank from its junction with Illinois 

 r. nearly to the mouth of Applegate or. 

 The Tututunne, who did not differ from 

 them in customs or language, were to 

 the w. of them; the Coquille, differing 

 slightly in language, were n. of them; and 

 the Gallice (Tattushtuntude), with the 

 same customs but a quite different dia- 

 lect, to the E. The Takilma, an inde- 

 pendent stock, were their s. neighbors, 

 living on the s. bank of Rogue r. and on 

 its s. tributaries. In the summer of 1856, 

 after a few months of severe fighting with 

 the whites, 153 of them, consisting of 53 

 men, 61 women, 23 boys, 16 girls (Par- 

 rish in Ind. Aff. Rep. 1857, 357, 1858) 

 were taken to Siletz res., Oreg., where 

 now there are but a few individuals left. 



It is practically certain that nearly all 

 the inhabitants of these villages were re- 

 moved at this time. Considering the 

 number of the villages — 33 according to 

 Dorsey (Jour. Am. Folk-lore, iii, 234, 

 1890), 19 according to an aged Gallice 

 informant — this number is surprisingly 

 small. The names of the villages, as 

 given by Dorsey, usually referring to 

 the people {-tun, -tunne) thereof, are 

 Chetuttunne, Chunarghuttunne, Chun- 

 setunneta, Chunsetunnetun, Chushtar- 

 ghasuttun, Chusterghutmunnetun, 

 Chuttushshunche, Khloshlekhwuche,

 lages may be synonymous with ones in 

 the list: Klothchetunne, Sekhatsatunne,
