Description: The Tahltan materials in the Franz Boas Papers consist of 32 letters among the correspondence between Boas and James Teit that mention Tahltan people or language to some extent. The length of the mentions range from very brief to more substantial. Many relate to Teit's travels in northern British Columbia and southern Yukon region on ethnographic field trips or as a hunting guide. Five letters mention a Tahltan man named Adset (or Adsit) with whom Teit worked. (See especially letter of November 20, 1908.) Other mentions of Tahltan people or language may exist elsewhere in this collection but are not known.

In the "Quinault" section of the finding aid, Farrand's "Quinault ethnographic and field notes" (item S2a.1) include a 6-page Tsilhqot'in word list in notebook 7, and and mention of Tsilhqot'in in notebook 14. A basic table of contents of these notebooks is available. Additional unidentified Tsilhqot'in information may appear elsewhere in these notebooks, though the additional extent (if any) is undetermined. In the "Thompson" section of the finding aid, Teit's "Field notes on Thompson songs and language" (item S1b.7) also includes a 6-page Tsilhqot'in word list.

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.
