The material upon which the following sketch of the Chimariko language is
based, was collected in the summer of 1906 on the New River, and at Willow
Creek or China Flat, in Trinity County, California. The bulk of the material was
obtained from Mrs. Dyer, probably the last full-blood Chimariko survivor, and
from Friday, who, although not of Chimariko decsent, spoke the language
fluently (from the introduction).
