Indians of California (part 2).

Abstract

"There were eight different kinds of oaks in Central California, all producing edible acorns. The Indians have no name for Oaktree, but have a name for each kind of acorn and each kind of mush, which all tastes alike. Toea-Whit is one kind of acorn, Tae-peat is one kind of mush and ta'-lish is one kind of bake cake in the Wuk-Chum-nee dialect."
