Chemehuevi Erik Loyer
Contents of this path:
1. Chemehuevi house The Chemehuevi are closely allied linguistically to the Paiute of southern Nevada, from which region they undoubtedly came in the not distant past. In the historical period they have held the eastern half of San Bernardino county and the eastern end of Riverside. On Colorado river they held the lowlands on both sides between Needles and Bill Williams fork, and a group is still resident there in Chemehuevi valley. Those who settled in the valley (which apparently was subsequent to 1776, because in that year the diary of his journey across the desert west of the river) became agriculturists like the Mohave.

9. Kwakiutl house-frame The two long beams in the middle are twin ridge-timbers, which are supported in the rear, as in the front, by a transverse beam resting on two uprights. At the extreme right and left are the eaves-timbers. The longitudinal and circular flutes of the columns are laboriously produced by means of a small hand-adze of primitive form. This frame is at the village Memkumlis. Another view is given in the illustration facing page 36. Kwakiutl houses are discussed on page 6.
10. Rounding into port - Qagyhl The primitive Kwakiutl sail for canvas was a sheet of cedar-bark matting, and on catamarans a large, square section of thin boards was propped up against the wind. Canvas is now used. The painting on the canoe at the left represents "sisiutl", the mythical double-headed serpent. The carved figure-heads of the middle canoe and the one on the right are respectively an eagle and a bear. The bear canoe is further embellished with highly conventionalized paintings of the head, flipper and tail of a whale.
