![]() ![]() No attempt has been made to visit all of these locations, for in the majority of cases there would be nothing to indicate Information concerning the locations of former village sites has in almost every case been obtained from more than one informant. ![]() It has been possible to add a few minor details from actual observations in the field. This region, and will be found to differ from some of them in minor points, for in addition to comparing the various state The accompanying maps are the results of comparisons of the existing maps of Vary greatly from one another in such details. This, however, has been a very difficult matter, as the existing maps of this region Not only to the present white towns but also to a very great extent to water courses, mountains, and various other naturalįeatures of the country, and it has therefore been necessary to prepare maps which should be as correct as possible as bases In giving the locations of the various village and camp sites, as also of the stock and dialect boundaries, the Indians refer Many sources for the determination of lexical and phonetic relationships. In the present paper are divided, vocabularies were taken from as many individuals as possible, thus giving material from In order to determine definitely the various dialects of the several linguistic families into which the people dealt with Locate with reasonable exactness the sites of old villages and camps, and the cases in which such locations are doubtful have It has, however,īeen impossible to obtain full information concerning certain boundaries, especially of territories not actually inhabited Īnd in such cases a probable boundary has been indicated on the maps and in the text. Thus the limits of each stock and its dialects were definitely established in most places. In this manner the boundaries between dialects and linguistic stocks wereĪscertained from the people on both sides of them, and in many cases these were corroborated by neighboring people of otherĭialects or stocks.

On the northeast of the Pomo territory have been investigated and their limits and subdivisions determined only in so farĪs their inhabitants were in some direct relation with the Pomo. The territories of the Yuki and Athapascan stocks on the north and of the Northerly Wintun Is a very potent factor in the life of every primitive people, the topography and natural resources of the region have beenĮxamined in order to have a knowledge of the surroundings of the people under consideration before passing to a study of the Stock, and to determine the number of dialects of this stock, their relationships one to another, the exact limits of theĪrea in which each was spoken, and the locations of the various ancient and modern villages and camp sites. The chief purpose of the present investigation has been to establish the aboriginal territorial boundaries of the Pomo linguistic Of the University of California through the munificence of Mrs. ![]() This paper and the accompanying maps have been prepared from notes made chiefly during 1903, but in part during 19,Īs part of the work of the Ethnological and Archaeological Survey of California, conducted by the Department of Anthropology ![]()
