Notes from the Yana of N. Calif.

tillikum,

Here is an interesting ethnographic note from northern California.  This
is in reference to the Yana speaking peoples and malignant beings at a
place called Round Mt., northeast of Redding, California.

“This being was displeased if strangers came near and talked anyhting
but Yana.  Once some Yreka Indians came and talked Chinook Jargon at
that place, whereupon the earth began to shake violently.  At last the
owner of the place cried out to [moosuugiyuana] that it was not he who
had thus spoken and begged him “in the doctor way” to stop, whereupn he
did.” (pg.283)
