Title: Teit, James A.: To Boas. 1909 Apr. 20
Identifier(s): text:121447
Description: Going to Coldwater Reserve in Nicola to ask questions about basketry. Additional information on the Thompson will elaborate many details only mentioned before relating to many areas of visual and material design learned from many older consultants over past three years who have since passed away. Can begin writing it out now if desired, after returning from hunting in the fall. Writing out now story of "the Lytton girls stolen by giants." Will send whatever is completed before leaving. Among the texts working on now are those of Spences Bridge divsion. Some of these myths different; some only slight variants. Stories long with main details short, but convey the language well. All southern Interior Salish have same designation for their languages as a whole, same as applied to Salish proper of Montana. Also goes for Okanagan. Different tribal and language names, but they recognize their languages also all "Salix." Secwepemc and Nlaka'pamux viewed as something else, but related. Montana Salish perhaps viewed as purest dialect. Similiarites in Nlaka'pamux view of Lytton people, or Secwepemc view of people at west end of Shuswap Lake. Heard report of smallpox outbreak in eastern Washington, including Nespelem. Concerned about being quarantined if visiting there, so instead focusing on Coeur d'Alene or elsewhere.
