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!
Achomawi (from adzúma,
or achóma, 'river'. Dixon). A
division of the
Shastan family formerly occupying the Pit r. country of N. E.
Cal., except Burney, Dixie, and Hat cr. valleys, which were inhabited by the
Atsugewi. A principal village was near Fallriver Mills, Shasta co. The languages
of the Achomawi and the Atsugewi, while unquestionably related, are strikingly
unlike. The term Achomawi was also employed by Powers to denote all the Indians
of the Palaihnihan family of Powell, popularly known as Pit River Indians.
See Shastan Family.
