Relation to Atakapa

[edit]

Quick question. Mithun (1999) and Campbell (1997) (presumably basing their statements off Swanton) both say that Akokisa was a dialect of Atakapa, and make no mention of any suggestions otherwise. Where does the idea that "there is no clear evidence that this document actually represents the language of Akokisa" come from? --Miskwito 23:20, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Akokisa/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I have rated this article for WP:IPNA to start class for the following reasons:
  • Content. There is a lack of content. The article should be longer.
  • Citation. There is no inline citation for the references used. See WP:CITE
  • Infobox. It needs one.
  • Picture. The picture barely applies. I'd get a new one, zoom it out a bit, and highlight the area where they lived, rather than simply using a map of the San Jacinto watershed.

Cotton rates?

[edit]

One of the things they are said to have subsisted on are "cotton rates". What the heck are they? My searches have yielded nothing.Bill (talk)
