Waiilatpuan Family (from Wuy'iletpu, 

 pi. of Wa-ilet, ' [one] Cayuse man.' — 

 Gatschet) . A linguistic family composed 

 of two divisions: the Cayuse and the 

 JVIolala, the former occupying the terri- 

 tory from Des Chutes r. to the Blue mts., 

 including the headwaters of Wallawalla, 

 Grande Ronde, and Umatilla rs., in Ore- 

 gon and Washington. The territory of 

 the Molala is not so certain, but was 

 probably for the greater part in the Cas- 

 cade range between Mts Hood and Scott, 

 and on Molala cr in w. Oregon. The 

 Waiilatpuan language has not yet been 

 thoroughly studied, and, while clas.sed 



as independent, may prove to be related 

 to the Shahaptian, with the tribes of 

 which family the Cayuse have always 

 been closely associated. According to 

 Gatschet the two dialects of the language 

 are very distinct, which would indicate 

 a geographical separation of the two 

 tribes of long standing. There is, how- 

 ever, a traditif)n among the Cayuse of 

 the western migration of the Molala 

 which would support a contrary view. 

 The tribes of the family have prt)bably 

 always been weak in numbers, and, 

 although constantly decreasing in historic 

 times, have been noted for warlike quali- 

 ties. Both branches are now nearly 

 extinct. ( l. f. )

Wailaki ( Wintun : 'northern language' ) . 

 An Athapascan tribe or group of many 

 villages formerly on the main Eel r. and 

 its N. fork from Kekawaka cr. to within 

 a few miles of Round valley, Cal. After 

 some fighting with the whites they were 

 placed on Round valley res., where a 

 few of them still reside. Their houses 

 were circular. They had no canoes, but 

 crossed streams by weighting themselves 

 down with stones while they waded. 

 They lived by the river during the wet 

 months of the year, when their chief oc- 

 cupation was fishing, done at especially 

 favorable places by means of nets and 

 spears. The summer and fall months 

 were spent on the sides and tops of the 

 ridges, where the women were able to 

 gather the bulbs, seeds, and nuts, and the 

 men could unite in deer drives and other 

 methods of hunting. They usually buried
