Geocache Description:



Melville Jacobs translated Oral History, from Kalapuya Texts 1945

 

Gus tcíi’pgam gidinigaufu amé’nma, ginigé’cni amím’ dugwá. Ginigáufu’ladi gus ambádafi.

Long ago when people fished, they used their hair* They fished for trout with it.

Didimayík gus angwá, demakáltco dudinidí’, lau’mde denimawú’t hé’lim.

When it bit that hair, it’d hang up in their teeth, then they’d pull them out (of the water).

Pás gini’náhai dinigáufin wat.

That’s how they did it, or so it is said.

*NOTE: They’d tie a tuft of human hair onto the end of the line for a lure.

Ampátaufe - Trout
