Francis Drake and the California Indians, 1579

Note 94 — CONTENTS

Reading edition

For the Coast Miwok words for "chief" and "friend" see Barrett, The Ethno-Geography of the Pomo Indians, words nos. 62, 64, pp. 70, 71. The Pomo words (p. 58) are totally unlike those of the Coast Miwok. Barrett, Ceremonies, mentions a Kuksu curing call, hyo, which was repeated four times. Although the call is phonetically similar, the context is so unlike, that a correspondence with Fletcher's word for chief or king is improbable.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
