	Klallam Chapter - Tipisa 326 WWW
		Klallam is the name of an Indian tribe in Washington State.
		Its name meant "strong people." The legend behind the name is a competition between a group of large warriors and a group of smaller warriors where they had to lift a log and carry it a certain distance.
		As the larger warriors struggled to lift the heavy log directly from the sand, the smaller ones smartly slid it into the water, where they could get under it and lift it much easier.
