Native American Tribe Series.

Muckleshoot Indians.

Muckleshoot  is from the native word o’kelcul, but the significance is unknown.  The Muckleshoot belonged to the Nisqually dialectic group of the coastal division of the Salishan linguistic family. Muckleshoot lived on the White River, their territory extending from Kent eastward to the mountains, but it seems also to have included Green River. The following names appear applied to bands in their territory: Sekamish, on White River; Skopamish, on upper Green River; and the Smulkamish, on upper White River.  Smith (1940) adds Dothliuk, at South Prairie below where Cole Creek enters South Prairie Creek, an affluent of Carbon River.
The Muckleshoot are probably included in the 1,200 “Nisqually, Puyallup, etc.” estimated by Mooney (1928) as in existence in 1780. The Skopamish numbered 222 in 1863 and the Smulkamish about 183 in 1870. Mooney estimated a total of 780 in 1907 for the group above given. In 1937 the United States Office of Indian Affairs reported 194 Indians of this tribe.

Some people call Wednesday hump day, I call it cache day! Being the time of year it is, at lunch I thought about it and decided I did not have the feeling I would see a danger noodle (snake) today, so I hit the plains and had mixed luck. The grass has grown up in some areas to the point where I didn't dare go in, and in other places I went in but had no luck finding the cache. Probably easier with no or dead grass... Anyhoo, I did find most of what I looked for and even had a little fun on a non-maintained road. A big thank you to the COs for placing these and putting smileys on my face today! I wound up putting out a replacement for this one. My spare logs have peace love pi on them, too. Shhhhh! Don't tell - I'm sure she'll make it out this way at some point. Find #3738

Its been a long hot summer in Texas, I've been trying to get out and do a caching trip a couple of times this summer, but it never worked out. Finally managed to get a week off, and am so happy to be out here in Colorado. The weather if perfect, and there is a load of caches that need my name on Smile Thanks so much for the hide mondou2, I really enjoyed finiding this cache!
