STOCKS AND TRIBES, BY SEX, AGE, AND BLOOD. 79<br />

enumeration of <strong>the</strong> census is too small seems probable.<br />

An exact enumeration, however, is, as already stated,<br />

practically impossible.<br />

Redwood (syn. Whilkut).—^A small group or tribe<br />

closely related to <strong>the</strong> Hupa. Their habitat was on<br />

Upper Redwood Creek, directly west of <strong>the</strong> Hupa <strong>in</strong><br />

Humboldt County, Cal. Located for several years<br />

previous to 1870 at Hupa Reservation, most have<br />

s<strong>in</strong>ce removed to <strong>the</strong>ir orig<strong>in</strong>al homes. The local<br />

name for <strong>the</strong>se <strong>Indian</strong>s is Redwood, a term also<br />

applied to <strong>the</strong>Huchnom, a branch of <strong>the</strong> Yukian stock<br />

<strong>in</strong> Mendoc<strong>in</strong>o County. The total number reported <strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>1910</strong> was 76, of which 74 were <strong>in</strong> California <strong>and</strong> 2 <strong>in</strong><br />

Wash<strong>in</strong>gton.<br />

Rogue River (syn. Tututni).—^A group of small<br />

tribes who <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> early n<strong>in</strong>eteenth century were liv<strong>in</strong>g<br />

on <strong>the</strong> lower Rogue River <strong>and</strong> adjacent area <strong>in</strong> Curry<br />

County, Oreg. In 1856 <strong>the</strong>y were removed to Siletz<br />

Reservation <strong>and</strong> some time later were transferred to<br />

<strong>the</strong> Gr<strong>and</strong>e Ronde Reservation. The remnants are at<br />

present divided between <strong>the</strong>se two reservations. There<br />

is much confusion <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> use of <strong>the</strong> term Tututni aiitl<br />

Rogue River, <strong>and</strong> among those returned as such, <strong>and</strong><br />

here tabulated, <strong>the</strong>re are probably some Chetco,<br />

Chastacosta <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r Athapaskan tribes of this<br />

region.<br />

The number enumerated <strong>in</strong> <strong>1910</strong> was 383, of which<br />

368 were <strong>in</strong> Oregon. Strictly comparable figures for<br />

this tribe can not be obta<strong>in</strong>ed, but an approximation<br />

can be made as follows: In 1854, at <strong>the</strong> time of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

transportation as prisoners of war to Siletz, <strong>the</strong> Rogue<br />

River were given as number<strong>in</strong>g 1,311. In 1867 <strong>the</strong>y<br />

seem still to have numbered over 1,300, but 10 years<br />

later, <strong>in</strong> 1877, were reduced to less than 700 <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong><br />

1881 to less than 500. S<strong>in</strong>ce that date no separate<br />

report has been made.<br />

Saiaz.—^A term of somewhat uncerta<strong>in</strong> application,<br />

applied to a portion of <strong>the</strong> Kuneste section of <strong>the</strong><br />

Pacific coast division of this stock. Their habitat<br />

s<strong>in</strong>ce earliest traditional times was <strong>in</strong> Humboldt <strong>and</strong><br />

Tr<strong>in</strong>ity Counties, Cal. They are practically one with<br />

<strong>the</strong>. Wailaki. Between 1862 <strong>and</strong> 1878 <strong>the</strong>y were<br />

ga<strong>the</strong>red first at <strong>the</strong> Smith River Reservation <strong>and</strong> also<br />

at <strong>the</strong> Hupa Reservation, but s<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>the</strong> latter date <strong>the</strong><br />

few survivors have been scattered over <strong>the</strong>ir orig<strong>in</strong>al<br />

territory. The number enumerated <strong>in</strong> <strong>1910</strong> was 6, all<br />

<strong>in</strong> California.<br />

TenanTcutch<strong>in</strong>.—One white half-breed male of this<br />

<strong>Alaska</strong>n tribe (see p. 112) was reported from Oregon<br />

<strong>in</strong> <strong>1910</strong>.<br />

TlatskanaL—K small tribe formerly liv<strong>in</strong>g on <strong>the</strong><br />

Chehalis River, Wash., <strong>and</strong> later <strong>in</strong> Columbia County,<br />

Oreg. They were supposed to be ext<strong>in</strong>ct several years<br />

ago. Three were reported from Wash<strong>in</strong>gton <strong>in</strong> <strong>1910</strong>.<br />

ToTxma (syn. Crescent City, Smith River <strong>Indian</strong>s.)—<br />

A small tribe or group belong<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong> Kuneste section<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Pacific coast division of this stock. Their<br />

habitat s<strong>in</strong>ce earhest traditional times has been <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

extreme northwestern corner of California, compris<strong>in</strong>g<br />

practically all of Del Norte County. Between 1862<br />

<strong>and</strong> 1868 <strong>the</strong>y were ga<strong>the</strong>red on a small reservation on<br />

Smith River which was later ab<strong>and</strong>oned, <strong>and</strong> s<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>the</strong><br />

latter date <strong>the</strong> Tolowa have not been located on a<br />

reservation. The number enumerated <strong>in</strong> <strong>1910</strong> was<br />

121, of which 118 were <strong>in</strong> California <strong>and</strong> 3 <strong>in</strong> Oregon.<br />

Vm'pqua.—^A tribal name of somewhat vague appli-<br />

cation, generally applied, however, to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Indian</strong>s of<br />

<strong>the</strong> upper Umpqua River, <strong>in</strong> Douglas County, Oreg.<br />

They were removed to <strong>the</strong> Alsea Reservation <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

middle of <strong>the</strong> n<strong>in</strong>eteenth century, <strong>and</strong> later divided<br />

between Siletz <strong>and</strong> Gr<strong>and</strong>e Ronde Reservation, Oreg.,<br />

*<br />

where <strong>the</strong>y still rema<strong>in</strong>.<br />

The number enumerated <strong>in</strong> <strong>1910</strong> was 109, of which<br />

90 were <strong>in</strong> Oregon <strong>and</strong> 17 <strong>in</strong> Wash<strong>in</strong>gton. Compara-<br />

tive figures from <strong>the</strong> reports of <strong>the</strong> Commissioner of<br />

<strong>Indian</strong> AflFairs are available s<strong>in</strong>ce 1860, as follows:<br />
