Those people speak a different language from those below tho' in their dress and habits and manners &c. they differ but little from the Quathlahpohtles. Theire women ware the truss as those do of all the nations risideing from the quathlahpohtle to the enterance of Lewis's river and on the Columbia above for Some distance... their men are Stouter and much better made, and their womin ware larger & longer robes than those do below; those are most commonly made of Deer skins dressed with the hair on them.
