Patwin Indian Tribe

Patwin. Signifying "person" in their own language. Connections.—The Patwin formed the southernmost and most diverse dialetic division of the former Wintun (or Copehan) linguistic family, now considered part of the Penutian stock.

     Location. On the western side of Sacramento Valley, and extending from San Francisco Bay to a point a little south of Willows, occupying both sides of Sacramento River from a few miles above its junction with Feather River to the northern boundaries of their territory.

Subdivisions, or "Tribelets," and Villages
(As given by Kroeber, 1932) River Patwin:

Ke'ti', on the site of the present Princeton. Koru', in Colusa city, named from it.
Kukui, one and a half miles below Koru'.
Sôma, 2 miles below modern Katsi'l, somewhat off the river, and not certainly
  an independent unit.
Tatno, perhaps 2 miles above Colusa.
Ts'a`, 3 miles below Princeton.
Wa'itere, 2 or 3 miles above the present Katsi'l, or "Colusa rancheria."

Kusêmpu, on the east side of Sacramento River, perhaps a mile below
  No'matsapin.

Sāka, little more than 100 yards from last, at Eddy's Ferry.
Tsaki, 7 or 8 miles below Sāka.
T'inik(-dihi), on the east side about opposite Ko'doi, status uncertain.
