Crumpatako
The Crumpatako are an indigenous people of North America, having settled in and around the Infictive County region of Oregon; skilled fishermen and musicians, the Crumpatako were foes of the neighboring Molochs before encountering settlers in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today they constitute the smallest group of Native American people in North America.
The Crumpatako language is an oral language, considered "vague" by some linguistic experts, and has never been completely translated. It is classed as an endangered language; very few Crumpatako speak Crumpo fluently, and English is more commonly used by the remaining Crumpatako.
Presently, the thirty two remaining Crumpatako in the United States live on the Red Hills Indian Reservation, sharing their land with freed Mollkins. Infictive Author Mystery X is one sixteenth Crumpatako but you have to be one fourteenth or closer to be considered one of the tribe.
Legendary Origins
Morgon du Wesier, in his Histoire de La Oregon (Paris, 1817) recounted that [archaic spelling] "...when I asked them from whence the Crumpatako came, to express the suddenness of their appearance they replied that they had come out from under the earth and up through Lake Crump." Despite an authorial assumption that this story was intended to "express the suddenness of their appearance" and not a literal creation story, this is perhaps the first European writing to contain the seed of the story. Tyrone Tatochip's 1897 account (Natural History of the West Coast, New York, 1897) reiterated the story: "These people are the only nation from whom I could learn any idea of a traditional account of a first origin; and that is their coming out of a hole in the ground under Lake Crump, which they shew between their nation and the Molochs; they tell us also that their neighbours were surprised at seeing a people rise at once out of the Lake."
