mats for inclosing houses and for hats and 

 basketry. The other variety of palm is 

 the palmetto Sabal, which entered large- 

 ly into the life of the Indians of s. w. 

 Florida. The Seminole still use the pal- 

 metto trunk in house building, and the 

 leaves for thatching, beds, basketry, 

 twine, and rope, and the bud is eaten, 

 raw or baked (5th Rep. B. A. E., 517, 

 1887). Biedma (1540) speaks of the use 

 of palmetto leaves for thatching, and 

 Dickenson, writing of Florida, says that 

 "an Indian brought a fish boiled on a 

 palmetto leaf and set it down amongst 

 us" (Narr. of a Shipwreck, 1803). Ac- 

 cording to Bartram (Trans. Am. Ethnol. 

 Soc, iii,pt. 1,49-50, 1853) the Creeks of 

 Alabama had several species of jmlms 

 which they used for food. One of them 

 (Sabal minus Pers. ) is a low plant, with- 

 out stalk or stem, that bears a vast col- 

 lection of plumes or drupes with fibrous 

 farinaceous pulpy coating resembling 

 manna. Another species {Serenoa sereu- 

 lata) was used for medicine. Empty pods 

 of the palm were used in dances as ankle 

 rattles by the Tepehuane (Lumholtz, 

 Unknown Mex., i, 477, 1902) . ( w. n.) 



Palomas (Span.: 'doves'). One of the 

 three large villages in the vicinity of 

 Trinity r., Tex., visited by La Salle in 

 1687. Cavelier states that the village 

 was surrounded by a palisade of cane. 

 The people seemed to be fairly well sup- 

 plied with horses and were hostile to the 

 Spaniards. Theiratfiliationisnot known.

Falonies (said to have been so called by

 Mentioned as a division of the Cheme- 

 huevi that occasionally went to the north 

 of Los Angeles, Cal., in 1845. — Ried 

 quoted by Hoffman in Bull. Essex Inst.,

Paloos {Pd-lus'). A Shahaptian tribe 

 formerly occupying the valley of Palouse 

 r. in Washington and Idaho, and the n. 

 bank of Snake r. as far as its junction with 

 the Columbia. They were found by Lewis 

 and Clark in 1805 on the Clearwater in 

 Idaho. Their closest connection was 

 with the kindred Nez Perces, and they 

 still hold close relations with that tribe. 

 They were included in the Yakima treaty 

 of 1855, but have never recognized the 

 treaty obligations and have declined to 

 lead a reservation life. They have 4 vil- 

 lages, all on Snake r., as follows: Almotu, 

 Palus, Tasawiks, and Kasispa. They are 

 active adherents of the Smohalla (q. v.) 

 doctrine. Lewis and Clark estimated 

 their number in 1805 at 1,600; in 1854 

 they Mere said to number 500; at present 



the population is unknown. See Mooney 

 in 14th Rep. B. A. E. , 735, 1896. ( l. f. )
