The name applied to this family was first employed by Gibbs in
1853, as above cited. He states that it is the “name of one of the
88 Clear Lake bands,” adding that “the language is spoken by all the
tribes occupying the large valley.” The distinctness of the language
is now generally admitted.
Geographic Distribution
The main territory of the Kulanapan family is bounded on the west by
the Pacific Ocean, on the east by the
Yukian and Copehan territories, on the north by the watershed of
the Russian River, and on the south by a line drawn from Bodega Head
to the southwest corner of the Yukian territory, near Santa Rosa,
Sonoma County, California. Several tribes of this family, viz, the
Kastel
Pomo, Kai Pomo, and Kato Pomo, are located in the valley between
the South Fork of Eel River and the main river, and on the
headwaters of the South Fork, extending thence in a narrow strip to
the ocean. In this situation they were entirely cut off from the
main body by the intrusive Yuki tribes, and pressed upon from the
north by the warlike
Wailakki, who are said to have imposed their language and many
of their customs upon them and as well doubtless to have extensively
intermarried with them.
