All of the cultures of California are -without (juestion at least ])artly related in ori<j:in to more widely spread civilizations outside the State. The northwestern culture is obviously part of that (generally known as the culture of the Xorth Pacific coast. The center of this larger civilization is clearly in Brit- ish Columbia, but this center <^.^^/^^ is so remote that any specific comparison of the Yurok and Hupa with the Kwakiutl or Haida would be unprofitable. In Washington and Oregon, however, three subtypes of this culture are recognizable, after exclusion of three in- land cultures: that of the Plateau east of the Cascades; the curiously simple culture of the Kalapuya in the Wil- lamette Valley; and of the Lutuamian Klamath and Mo- doc in the Klamath Lake basin. The three coastal provinces, which chiefly come into (question in a comparison with north California, are, in order from the north, and as sketched in Figure T-'): (1) Puyct /^ound, with all or part of the Olympic Penin- sula, and probably the south- eastern portion of Vancouver Island and the opposite coast of British Columbia. The groups in this area are clearly dependent for much of their culture on the Kwakiutl and other tribes to the north. Coast Salish groups are the principal ones in this province. (2) 7'lte Lower ('oluinhia, up to The Dalles, with the coast from about Shoalwater Bay on the north to lower Umpqua Eiver on the south. The Chinook were nearly central and perhaps dominant. Other members were the Yakonan Alsea and Siiislaw, the most south- erly of the coast Salivsh, and a few Athabascans,.
