-kiiyaahaangnsuffix1tribe, people of a place, bandgentilic suffix, forming the name of a band or tribe of people9.7.1.4Tribal names2tribeThe Cahto had a sort of tribe-like organization, unusual in the region but shared with the other Athabaskan groups and Yuki, in which multiple villages would be grouped as a band or tribe with a chief of captain for the grouping. Regarding the lack of tribe-level organization common to central California, Barrett gives the following, "These people lived in villages, for which the name rancheria, used by the early Mexican settlers, has come into common use. Each of these communities was inde pendent of the others, and corresponded, in being the principal political unit existing among these people, to the tribe in the eastern part of the continent; but was by no means equivalent to it in size and organization.1a" [Barrett, p.14-15] and the footnote, "1a Among the Yuki and the Athapascans this is not strictly true as there appears to have been some approach to a loose tribal organization among each. See the section below dealing in detail with the geography and villages of the Yuki."
