A Grammar of Southern Pomo UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara A Grammar of Southern Pomo An Indigenous Language of California A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics by Neil Alexander Walker Committee in charge: Professor Marianne Mithun, Chair Professor Bernard Comrie Professor Matthew Gordon Professor Dirk Elzinga March 2013 The dissertation of Neil Alexander Walker is approved. ________________________________________________ Bernard Comrie ________________________________________________ Matthew Gordon ________________________________________________ Dirk Elzinga _________________________________________________ Marianne Mithun, Committee Chair December 2012 A Grammar of Southern Pomo: An Indigenous Language of California Copyright © 2012 by iii Neil Alexander Walker ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project would not have been possible without the help and guidance of so many people. The following names are in no way an exhaustive list of all those who have helped me along the way, and I wish to thank all who have helped me reach this point. Special thanks go to the late Robert L. Oswalt for inviting me into his home, sharing his precious data, and caring so deeply about Pomoan people. I also want to thank my undergraduate mentor, Leanne Hinton, for her help and kindness as I began my study of linguistics. I am especially thankful to my dissertation chair, Marianne Mithun, for the many long hours she has spent hearing and reading about Southern Pomo on my behalf. I would never have been able to make any headway into the complexities of the language without her assistance (yahwi!). I am also appreciative of the guidance and understanding provided me by my other UCSB committee members, Bernard Comrie and Matthew Gordon, whose amazing ability to delve into Pomoan without a background in the language family has made it possible for me to complete this project. And many thanks go to my outside committee member, Dirk Elzinga, for his willingness to provide moral support during times of doubt and worry. I would also like to thank the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians for the support given to me and my family during the final year of the project. In particular, I want to thank Gus Pina; his unwavering belief in the importance of his mother‖s language is inspiring. Thanks are due to Joe Gonzales (ʔač:ay man:ed:u) for iv his work to revitalize his people‖s mother tongue. To all of my ʔayha čahnu students at the Dry Creek offices, I thank you for your enthusiasm, your dedication, and your patience with an ornery pʰal:aʔčay. I am grateful to my UCSB classmates, especially Timothy Henry, Verónica Muñoz Ledo, Uldis Balodis, and Janie Lee. Their friendship and unflagging support through the years have made an otherwise lonely endeavor much more bearable. I also want to thank my siblings, parents, and grandparents for supporitng me in my pursuit of knowledge. My mother, Christine, and my late maternal grandmother, Helen, deserve special mention for the years they spent listening to me ramble on about languages. And I wish to thank my wife‖s extended family for the love and kindness they have shown me during many enjoyable trips to their homes. Finally, I would like to thank my long-suffering wife, Jenny (kic:idu), for her love and support. Had she not let me into her family, I would have never known that Southern Pomo existed. I wish to thank her for her patience through many hard years of cramped student apartments and poor paychecks. I also wish to thank my children, Joshua (biʔdu), Christopher (bu:ṭaka), Nathan (kʰaʔbe), and Maayu (ma:yu), all of whom have patiently endured their father‖s research obsessions and the many moves those obsessions have required. I hope y‖all come to appreciate the gift of knowledge that has been left for you. v VITA OF NEIL ALEXANDER WALKER December 2012 EDUCATION 2013 Ph.D., Linguistics, University of California, Santa Barbara (expected) Chair: Prof. Marianne Mithun.

This work is the first full-length grammar of the language. It is divided into three parts. Part I introduces the sociocultural situation. This section introduces the material culture and physical environment of Southern Pomo speakers and the violent upheavals which destroyed their world. It also introduces the data sources on which this grammar is based. Part II is a detailed structural overiew of Southern Pomo. It introduces the sound inventory of the language and delves into its phonological alternations. It also introduces the different word classes together with a morpheme-by-moprheme inventory of the affixes and clitics with which the word classes are associated. Part III covers the sentence structure of Southern Pomo. It describes the different clauses and clause combining strategies present in the language, including the robust switch-reference system. This section also discusses the agent/patient case system and other clause-level phenomena. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ................................................................................................................ 1 Part I: The cultural, ecological, and sociolinguistic context of the language ... 4 1.1.

  • THE VOWEL SYSTEMS of CALIFORNIA HOKAN1 Jeff Good University of California, Berkeley
    THE VOWEL SYSTEMS OF CALIFORNIA HOKAN1 Jeff Good University of California, Berkeley Unlike the consonants, the vowels of Hokan are remarkably conservative. —Haas (1963:44) The evidence as I view it points to a 3-vowel proto-system consisting of the apex vowels *i, *a, *u. —Silver (1976:197) I am not willing, however, to concede that this suggests [Proto-Hokan] had just three vowels. The issue is open, though, and I could change my mind. —Kaufman (1988:105) 1. INTRODUCTION. The central question that this paper attempts to address is the motivation for the statements given above. Specifically, assuming there was a Proto-Hokan, what evidence is there for the shape of its vowel system? With the exception of Kaufman’s somewhat equivocal statement above, the general (but basically unsupported) verdict has been that Proto-Hokan had three vowels, *i, *a, and *u. This conclusion dates back to at least Sapir (1917, 1920, 1925) who implies a three-vowel system in his reconstructions of Proto-Hokan forms. However, as far as I am aware, no one has carefully articulated why they think the Proto-Hokan system should have been of one form instead of another (though Kaufman (1988) does discuss some of his reasons).2 Furthermore, while reconstructions of Proto-Hokan forms exist, it has not yet been possible to provide a detailed analysis of the sound changes required to relate reconstructed forms to attested forms. As a result, even though the reconstructions themselves are valuable, they cannot serve as a strong argument for the particular proto vowel system they implicitly or explicitly assume.

  • Plants Used in Basketry by the California Indians
    PLANTS USED IN BASKETRY BY THE CALIFORNIA INDIANS BY RUTH EARL MERRILL PLANTS USED IN BASKETRY BY THE CALIFORNIA INDIANS RUTH EARL MERRILL INTRODUCTION In undertaking, as a study in economic botany, a tabulation of all the plants used by the California Indians, I found it advisable to limit myself, for the time being, to a particular form of use of plants. Basketry was chosen on account of the availability of material in the University's Anthropological Museum. Appreciation is due the mem- bers of the departments of Botany and Anthropology for criticism and suggestions, especially to Drs. H. M. Hall and A. L. Kroeber, under whose direction the study was carried out; to Miss Harriet A. Walker of the University Herbarium, and Mr. E. W. Gifford, Asso- ciate Curator of the Museum of Anthropology, without whose interest and cooperation the identification of baskets and basketry materials would have been impossible; and to Dr. H. I. Priestley, of the Ban- croft Library, whose translation of Pedro Fages' Voyages greatly facilitated literary research. Purpose of the sttudy.-There is perhaps no phase of American Indian culture which is better known, at least outside strictly anthro- pological circles, than basketry. Indian baskets are not only concrete, durable, and easily handled, but also beautiful, and may serve a variety of purposes beyond mere ornament in the civilized household. Hence they are to be found in. our homes as well as our museums, and much has been written about the art from both the scientific and the popular standpoints. To these statements, California, where American basketry.

  • Ethnohistory and Ethnogeography of the Coast Miwok and Their Neighbors, 1783-1840
    ETHNOHISTORY AND ETHNOGEOGRAPHY OF THE COAST MIWOK AND THEIR NEIGHBORS, 1783-1840 by Randall Milliken Technical Paper presented to: National Park Service, Golden Gate NRA Cultural Resources and Museum Management Division Building 101, Fort Mason San Francisco, California Prepared by: Archaeological/Historical Consultants 609 Aileen Street Oakland, California 94609 June 2009 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY This report documents the locations of Spanish-contact period Coast Miwok regional and local communities in lands of present Marin and Sonoma counties, California. Furthermore, it documents previously unavailable information about those Coast Miwok communities as they struggled to survive and reform themselves within the context of the Franciscan missions between 1783 and 1840. Supplementary information is provided about neighboring Southern Pomo-speaking communities to the north during the same time period. The staff of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) commissioned this study of the early native people of the Marin Peninsula upon recommendation from the report’s author. He had found that he was amassing a large amount of new information about the early Coast Miwoks at Mission Dolores in San Francisco while he was conducting a GGNRA-funded study of the Ramaytush Ohlone-speaking peoples of the San Francisco Peninsula. The original scope of work for this study called for the analysis and synthesis of sources identifying the Coast Miwok tribal communities that inhabited GGNRA parklands in Marin County prior to Spanish colonization. In addition, it asked for the documentation of cultural ties between those earlier native people and the members of the present-day community of Coast Miwok. The geographic area studied here reaches far to the north of GGNRA lands on the Marin Peninsula to encompass all lands inhabited by Coast Miwoks, as well as lands inhabited by Pomos who intermarried with them at Mission San Rafael.

    Historical People, Characters During the 1830-40’s there were various people who were in Sonoma and at Rancho de Petaluma. There is not a lot of written documentation that we have found about the women or wives of the men. We have tried our best to include good resources in the bibliography, but often the descriptions and details we desire for the role playing exercises are missing. We understand that there might be a lot of “creative” attributes given to the characters, however, we ask that the children stay within the realm of the possible. We are constantly searching for sources and ask for your help. Two resources are especially good on descriptions of the people and the period. Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana A “journal” of a man’s experience at sea during the hide and tallow trade. His descriptions of the trade and process are excellent. As well, his description of the clothing and hairstyles of those in Monterey is very detailed. 75 Years in California by William Heath Davis A historian who actually visited the sites he wrote about. His book is still considered one of the best historical accounts of the time period for which he wrote. He did visit Rancho de Petaluma and wrote about it within the book. Mariano and Francisca Vallejo had 16 children together. Of these 16, 10 lived to adulthood. We don’t include the 6 who died in the historical figures list, but they are included on the Vallejo Family page. As well, some of the information about the family occurred after the dates of 1836-1846, which is the time period for Rancho de Petaluma.
