, Arra-Arra, Peh[']-tsik, Eh-nek).

< Klamath, Keane, App. to Stanford's Comp. (Cent. and So. Am.), 475,
1878 (cited as including Cahrocs).

Derivation: Name of a band at mouth of Salmon River, California.
Etymology unknown.

This family name is equivalent to the Cahroc or Karok of Powers and
later authorities.

In 1853, as above cited, Gibbs gives Eh-nek as the titular heading of
his paragraphs upon the language of this family, with the remark that it
is "The name of a band at the mouth of the Salmon, or Quoratem river."
He adds that "This latter name may perhaps be considered as proper to
give to the family, should it be held one." He defines the territory
occupied by the family as follows: "The language reaches from Bluff
creek, the upper boundary of the Pohlik, to about Clear creek, thirty or
forty miles above the Salmon; varying, however, somewhat from point to
point."

The presentation of the name Quoratem, as above, seems sufficiently
formal, and it is therefore accepted for the group first indicated by
Gibbs.

In 1856 Latham renamed the family Ehnik, after the principal band,
locating the tribe, or rather the language, south of the Shasti and
Lutuami areas.

GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION.

The geographic limits of the family are somewhat indeterminate, though
the main area occupied by the tribes is well known. The tribes occupy
both banks of the lower Klamath from a range of hills a little above
Happy Camp to the junction of the Trinity, and the Salmon River from its
mouth to its sources. On the north, Quoratean tribes extended to the
Athapascan territory near the Oregon line.

_Population._--According to a careful estimate made by Mr. Curtin in the
region in 1889, the Indians of this family number about 600.
