• ... that the Upper Chehalis people adopted horses widely after their introduction, becoming known as "equestrian" compared to their neighbors?

• Source: "In the mid-nineteenth century, Gibbs (1877:178) described the Upper Chehalis as 'equestrian in their habits.'" (Hajda, 1990, p. 508)

"The facilities for grazing offered by this tract have induced in the occupants equestrian habits, which distinguish them from their neighbors. The number of their horses is, of course, inconsiderable, as compared with the tribes of the great plains, but has been sufficient to create an exception to the otherwise universal aquatic life of the coast region. The bands included are chiefly the Niskwallis [sic] proper and the Upper Tsihalis [sic]." (Gibbs, 1877, p. 169)
