While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
A complete listing of all the Indian villages,
towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of Mexico.
Dakubetede. A group of
Athapascan villages formerly on Applegate cr., Oreg. The inhabitants spoke a
dialect practically identical with that employed by the Taltushtuntede who lived
on Gallice cr. not far from them. They were intermarried with the
Shasta, who, with the Takilman, were their neighbors. With other insurgent
bands they were removed to the Siletz res. in 1856.
Dalles Indians. The Chinookan tribes formerly living at
The Dalles, Oreg., and on the opposite side of Columbia r. While tribes of other
stocks, notably Shahaptian, frequently visited The Dalles during the summer,
they were not permanent residents. Of the
Chinookan tribes the
Wasco were important, and the term is sometimes limited to that tribe. (L.
F.)
Des Chutes. A loosely defined Shahaptian group living
formerly on and about Deschutes r., Oreg. The term probably included remnants of
several tribes. The name has passed out of use, and the Indians, if any survive,
are probably on the Warm Springs res., Oreg., under other names. (L. F.)
Duldulthawaiame (village where there are plenty of
humming insects). A former village of the Mishikhwutmetunne on Coquille r.,
Oreg.
