Oregon coast artifacts vs. Drake SHORT REPLY

[Mike Cleven]

Just a quick note for those who don't have the patience for my unseemly
ramble in "long reply", the text of Drake's Nova Albion journal is on
line at:


http://www.mcn.org/2/oseeler/WE.htm

which is part of

           *** Sir Francis Drake ***
    ~ an international educational resource ~
    http://www.mcn.org/2/oseeler/drake.htm
    ~ recommended by The History Channel ~

There are some ethnographic details which perhaps members of this group
might recognize or resonate with; there are also two words - "Hiyoh" for
chief, and "Gnaah", which is something like a really serious please, or
a prayer or entreaty (according to Drake's understanding of it).  Ring
any bells?
