BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE 



Boas (F.) — Continued. 



tLe Clatsop have adopted the Nehelim. The 

 only ones who spoke Chinook were Joseph 

 Cultee and Katharine. While I was unable to 

 obtain anything from the latter, Cnltee proved 

 to be a veritable storehouse of information. His 

 wife is a Chihalis and he speak.s uow-a-days 

 exclusively Chihalis, wliieh is also the language 

 of his eliildren. He has lived for a long time 

 in Katlamat. his mother's town, and speaks for 

 this reason the Katlamat dialect as well as the 

 Chinook dialect. He uses this dialect in con- 

 versing with Samson, a Katlamat Indian, who 

 is al.so located at Bay Center. Until a few 

 years ago he spoke Chinook with one of his 

 relations, while he uses it now only when con- 

 versing with Katharine, who lives a few miles 

 from Bay Center. 



Possibly this Chinook is to a certain extent 

 mixed with Katlamat exjjressions, but trom a 

 close study of the mateiial I have reached the 

 conclusion that it is. on the whole, pure and 

 trustworthy. 



i have also obtained from Cultee a series of 

 Kallanial texts, which I believe are not quite 

 as good as tiu^ Chinook text, but nevertheless 

 give a good insight into the dilference.'^^ of the 

 two dialects. Tt may be possible to obtain 

 material on this dialect from other sources. 



My work of translating and explaining the 

 texts was greatly facilitated by Cnltee's remark- 

 able intelligence. After he had once grasped 

 what I wanted he explained to mc the gram- 

 matical structure of the sentences by means of 

 examples and elucidated the sense of difficult 

 periods. This work was the more ditlicult as 

 we conver.sed only by means of the Chinook 

 Jargon. 



The following pages contain nothing but the 

 texts with notes and translations. The gram- 

 maraud dictionary of the language will contain 

 ac(mii)arisonof all the dialects of the Chinookan 

 stock. 1 have translated tlie lirst two texts 

 almost verbatim, while in the latter texts I only 

 endeavored to render the sense accurately, for 

 which purposes shoi-t sentences have been 

 inserted, others omitted.
