Note from unidentified source: Indian graveyard across the river from the village of Quinault (now renamed Taholah). In the large ocean-going canoe are the remains of eight brothers and sisters out of one family. When an Indian died and before the corpse was cold a rope was put under the knees and around the back of the neck by which means the body was drawn up and tied in as small a bundle as possible. All belongings of the deceased were placed in and on the grave to be used in the happy hunting grounds.
