captain may well be a post-white development.

7 The willingness of the Washo to send gravely ill persons to the
hospital seems in part motivated by the wish to avoid a death in the
house.

8 The concern for these particular graves may be in part motivated by
the fact that they are a focal point in a Washo land claim. Because
of California law concerning cemeteries, the Indians contend that
the tourist camp presently on the site is there illegally and that
the land is theirs. Thus far the camp operator has been enjoined
from removing or desecrating the graves, but the Indians' claim has
not been considered.

9 This statement was made to point out to me that in other times only
special people, inspired by dreams, would have suggested a rabbit
hunt.

10 This kind of a statement was common and whenever it was made
suggestions of special power were made explicit later in the
conversation, or were implied by the attitude of the informant.

11 Used in an adjectival sense. In the reference below prayer is used
nominally.

12 No matter how reluctant aged Washo may have been to discuss other
aspects of the past, they became eloquent about any occasion on
which food was plentiful. They describe in minute detail the kinds
and amount of food at a feast although they cannot remember the
time, place, or those present.
