George Gibbs, Alphabetical Vocabularies of the Clallum and Lummi
“ The tribe of Clallams, as they are usually called by the residents of Washington Territory—by the neighboring Indians named S'klal ́am, and denominated by themselves Nūs-klái yūm—inhabit the southern shore of Fuca Strait, from about the Okĕho River on the west, to Port Townshend on the east, bordering in the first direction on the Makahs, sometimes called Classets (the Klaizzart of Jewitt) , a tribe of the Nootka family who inhabit Cape Flattery, and in the other on the Chemakum, like themselves a branch of the Selish, though a yet more remote one. ”
