 Public Anthropology
Garth’s ethnographic study of the Atsugewi people, completed during the summers of 1938 and 1939, supports his claim that the Atsugewi’s exceptional importance on the value of industriousness was not just due to environmental constraints, but connected to ideological factors as well.
He demonstrates that this unique cultural ideal is connected to almost all areas of Atsugewi life; ideology surrounding work guided and shaped their culture and way of life.
Garth suggests that the emphasis on industriousness for the Atsugewi was most likely a result of the adoption of Northern wealth ideals that were thus shaped and changed due to a more unfavorable environment.

 Language Log: Streamlined cognition?
Namely, if we assume that assorted doodads in a grammar color and enrich speakers' worldviews to an extent worthy of regular citation in anthropology textbooks and presentation to undergrads, then we risk a certain implication for some peoples.
(My God, do people actually speak these languages????) Atsugewi attends to the fact that dirt was doing the moving, despite the sentence nicely informing us of this later by referring to soot itself.
Atsugewi is dripping with these overzealous path satellites, for example, and some might be tempted to see this as evidence of the speakers' sensitivity to the processes of nature.

 Klamath Stem Structure in Genetic and Areal Perspective
While each of these features occurs in a wide range of languages with no obvious genetic or areal unity, this particular constellation of features seems to be characteristic of a defineable areal grouping, including Hokan and Penutian languages spoken east of the Sierra/Cascade ranges in Oregon and northwestern California.
This suggests that this stem structure, shared by Sahaptin, Klamath, Atsugewi, and Washo, is a secondary areal development which needs to be taken into account in historical and comparative Penutian and Hokan studies.
While these claims are subject to debate, it is in any case clear that Washo, Klamath, Sahaptin, and Atsugewi do not form any sort of genetic unit as opposed to the other languages listed.

Though extensive field work has been done on Atsugewi, a language of the Hokan stock closely related to Achumawi, there remain many gaps in available information about its grammatical structure.
The purpose of this paper is to begin to fill one of those gaps, specifically by presenting information on the language’s phonology as described by Leonard Talmy.
This paper is intended to be relevant not only to those with an interest in the phonology of Atsugewi itself but also to those with an interest in the phonology of Hokan languages in general.

Connections.- The Achomawi were originally classed with the Atsugewi as one stock under the name Palaihnihan, the Achomawan stock of Merriam (1926), and this in turn constitutes the eastern branch of the Shastan stock, which in turn 18 now placed under the widely spread Hokan family.
C. Merriam (1926) says that Achomawi is the Madehsi name for the Astnkiwi which occupied all of Hot Springs Valley, and he adds the names of two other tribes between the last mentioned and Goose Lake, the Ko-se-al-lak'-te, and, higher up, at the lower end of the lake, the Ha'-we-si'-doc.
Population.- Together with the Atsugewi, the Achomawi are estimated by Kroeber (1925) to have numbered 3,000 in 1770; in 1910 there were 985.

Like their neighbors the Achumawi, the Atsugewi's language falls within the Palaihnihan branch of the Hokan linguistic stock (Hinton 83).
Even though the Achumawi and Atsugewi spoke similar languages, they were not mutually intelligible.
Today, there are no Atsugewi speakers but attempts are being made to revive the language using ethnographic records (Hinton 28-29).

Glottochronological evidence indicates that the differentiation between the two Palaihnihan languages, Achumawi and Atsugewi, occurred between 3500 to 3100 years ago (Baumhoff and Olmsted 1963:279), or 1500 - 1100 BC, indicating that Palaihnihan speakers have been in the area at least this long.
However, there is the possibility that Penutian groups moving into California from the north may have entered here at approximately AD 0 (Bettinger 1995:3).
