Description: The Willapa materials in the ACLS collection mostly consist of materials in the "Willapa" section of the finding aid. Teit's "Notes to Willapa" (item Na9.2) includes comparative notes, based on a missing list of 139 Willapa terms, and a list of museum specimens desired. A subsequent "Willapa word list" (item Na9.1) by Boas was created from Teit's materials. In the "Carrier" section of the finding aid is "Notes on various Athabaskan languages" (item Na.5), recorded by James Teit, which partially includes vocabulary in the Suwal dialect of Kwalhioqua-Clatskanie.
