Algonkins long before the contest with the Tallike began. These latter
lay between the position then occupied by the Lenape and the eastern
territory where they were found by the whites. In other words, the
Tallike were on the Upper Ohio and its tributaries, and they had to be
driven south before the path across the mountains was open. For this
reason they are called _wapawullaton_, "possessing the East," that is,
with reference to the then position of the Lenape in southwestern Ohio.
54. _Talamatan_. This was the Lenape name of the Huron-Iroquois or
Wyandots. It is found in the form _Telamatinos_ in a "List of 11
Nations living West of Allegheny" present by deputy at a Conference in
Philadelphia, 1759 (_Minutes of the Prov Council of Penna._, Vol. VIII,
p. 418). Heckewelder gives _Delamattenos_ (_Ind. Nations_, p. 80).
Rafinesque translates the name in one place by "not Talas," and in
another by "not of us," from Len. _matta_, not, Latin _nos_, us. That
the Lenape did not speak Latin made no difference in his linguistic
theory, as he held all languages to be at core the same! On the Hurons,
see above, p. 16.
V.
2. _Wapalaneng_, apparently the White River, Indiana, or else the
Wabash.
16. In this line the three tribes are mentioned which were previously
named in IV, 44, 45, 46, and the difference in the spelling shows that
the chant was written down by one unacquainted with the forms of the
language. The correspondent names are:--
IV. V.
Akowini, Sinako.
Towakon, Towako.
Lowanuski, Lowako.
The termination _ako_, uniformly rendered by Rafinesque _snake_,
appears to be either the animate plural in _ak_, or the locative _aki_,
place or land.
The _Towako_ are probably the Ot-tawa called by the Delaware _Taway_;
or the Twightees, called by them _Tawatatwee_ (see "List of 11
Nations," etc., in _Minutes of the Prov. Council of Pa._, Vol. VIII, p.
418).
There is difficulty in reconciling _Akowini_ and _Sinako_. In the
former, the prefix _ako_ may be from _achgook_, snake, as Rafinesque
and Squier rendered it.
The word _Lowanuski_ appears again in v. 18, where Raf. inserts the
note, "Lowushkis are Esquimaux." It means simply "winter land," or
"Northern people," and is not likely to have any reference to the
Eskimo.
22. "Without snakes," _i. e._, free from enemies.
24. On the derivation of Susquehannah, see page 14.
25. _Winakaking_, Sassafras Land, the native name of eastern
Pennsylvania.
29. The Wapings and the Minsi seem to be referred to.
33, 36. The omission of the numbers 34 and 35 is in the original MS.
50. _Ganshowenik_; Raf. translates this "the noisy place, or Niagara."
It is a derivative from the root _kan_. See Vocab.
60. _Ewenikiktit_, may be translated "whites" or "Europeans." See
Vocabulary.

APPENDIX.
AGOZHAGÀUTA. (_page_ 14. _Note_.)
With reference to this word I have been favored with the opinions
of Gen. Clark, Mr. Horatio Hale, and the Rev. J. A. Cuoq, all able
Iroquois scholars.
Gen. Clark and Mr. Hale believe that it is a dialectic or corrupt form
for _agotsaganha_, which is a derivature from _atsagannen_ (Bruyas,
_Radices Verborum Iroquaeorum_, p. 42). This verbal means, in one
conjugation, "to speak a foreign language," and in another, "to be of a
different language, to be a foreigner." The prefix _ago_ or _ako_ is an
indefinite pronoun, having the same form in both singular and plural,
and is used with national or tribal appellations, as in _akononsionni_,
"People of the Long House," the general name of the Five Nations. Gen.
Clark notes that the term _agotsaganens_, or _agotsaganes_, was the
term applied by the Iroquois to the Mohegans, = "People who speak a
foreign tongue." (Jogues, _Novum Belgium_ (1646), and _Pa. Colonial
Records_, vol. vi, p. 183.)
The Rev. Mr. Cuoq believes that the proper form is _akotsakannha_,
which in his alphabet is the same as _agotsaganha_, but he limits its
meaning to "on est Abnaquis," from _aktsakann_, "être Abnaquis." (See
his _Lexique de la Langue Iroquoise_, pp. 1, 155.) The general name
applied by the Iroquois to the Algonkins he gives as _Ratirontaks_,
from _karonta_, tree, and _ikeks_, to eat, "Tree-eaters" (_Lexique_, p.
88); probably they were so called from their love of the product of the
sugar maple.
DIALECT OF THE NEW JERSEY LENAPE. (_p. 46_)
An interesting specimen of the South Jersey dialect of the Lenape is
preserved in the office of the Secretary of State, Trenton, N.J. It is
a list of 237 words and phrases obtained in 1684, at Salem, N.J. It was
published in the _American Historical Record_, vol. I, pp. 308-311,
1872. The orthography is English, and it is evidently the same trader's
jargon which Gabriel Thomas gives. (See p. 76.) The _r_ is frequent;
man is _renus leno_; devil is _manitto_; God is _hockung tappin_
(literally, "he who is above"). There are several typographical errors
in the printed vocabulary.
REV. ADAM GRUBE. (_p. 84._)
His full name was Bernhard Adam Grube. Between 1760-63 he was
missionary in charge of the Moravian mission at Wechquetank, Monroe
County, Pa., and there translated into Delaware, with the aid of a
native named Anton, a "Harmony of the Gospels," and prepared an "Essay
of a Delaware Hymn Book." Both these were printed by J. Brandmüller, at
Friedensthal, Pa., and issued in 1763; but no copy of either is known
to exist.
EASTERN ORIGIN OF THE ALGONKINS. (_pp. 12_ and _145._)
Quite recently M. Emile Petitot, in an article entitled, "_De la
pretendue Origine Orientale des Algonquins_" (_Bulletin de la Société
d'Anthropologie_, 1884, p. 248), has attacked the theory that the
Algonkin migrations were from the northeasterly portions of the
American continent, toward the west and south. His arguments are based
on two Cree legends which he relates, one of which is certainly and
the other probably of modern date, as the incidents show; and on his
criticism of the derivation of the name "Abnaki". Of this he says:
"_Wabang_ signifie plutôt detroit que orient; et quant au mot _askiy_
ou _ahkiy_, il vent dire _terre_, et non pas _peuple_".
Now, no one ever claimed that _abnaki_ meant eastern people. The Abbé
Maurault translates the form _Abanki_ by "terre au Levant." (_Histoire
des Abénakis_, Introd. p. ii, Quebec, 1866.) In Cree _wapaw_, in
Chipeway _wabi_, mean narrows or strait; but they are derivatives from
the root _wab_, and mean a light or open place between two approaching
shores, as Chip. _wabigama_, or _wabimagad_, "there is a strait between
the two shores." (Baraga, _Otchipwe Dictionary_.) The name Abnaki is,
moreover, no argument either for or against the eastern origin of the
Algonkin stock, as it was merely a local term applied to a very small
branch of it by the French. Hence M. Petitot's criticisms on the theory
under consideration are misplaced and of no weight.
To what has been said in the text I may add that the Algonkins who
visited Montreal early in the 17th century retained distinct traditions
that they had once possessed the land to the east of that city, and
had been driven south and west by the Huron-Iroquois. See the Abbé
Maurault, _Histoire des Abénakis_, p. 111, and Wm. W. Warren, _Hist. of
the Ojibways_, Chap. IV (Minnesota, Hist. Colls., 1885).

LIBRARY
--OF--
ABORIGINAL AMERICAN LITERATURE,
GENERAL EDITOR AND PUBLISHER:
D. G. BRINTON, M.D.
The aim of this series of publications is to put within the reach of
scholars authentic materials for the study of the languages and culture
of the native races of America. Each work is the production of the
native mind, and is printed in the original tongue, with a translation
and notes, and only such are selected as have some intrinsic historical
or ethnological importance. The volumes of the series are sold
separately, at the prices named.
_NOW READY._
No. I. THE CHRONICLES OF THE MAYAS.
Edited by DANIEL G. BRINTON, M.D. 279 pages. Cloth, uncut, $5.00.
($3.00 when a complete set is ordered.)
This volume contains five brief chronicles in the Maya language
of Yucatan, written shortly after the Conquest, and carrying the
history of that people back many centuries. To these is added a
history of the Conquest, written in his native tongue, by a Maya
Chief, in 1562. The texts are preceded by an introduction on the
history of the Mayas; their language, calendar, numeral system,
etc.; and a vocabulary is added at the close.
No. II. THE IROQUOIS BOOK OF RITES.
Edited by HORATIO HALE. 222 pages. Cloth, uncut, $3.00.
This work contains, in the Mohawk and Onondaga languages, the
speeches, songs and rituals with which a deceased chief was
lamented and his successor installed in office. It may be
said to throw a distinct light on the authentic history of
Northern America to a period fifty years earlier than the era of
Columbus. The Introduction treats of the ethnology and history
of the Huron-Iroquois. A map, notes and a glossary complete the
work.
No. III. THE COMEDY-BALLET OF GÜEGÜENCE.
Edited by DANIEL G. BRINTON, M.D. 146 pages. Cloth, uncut, $2.50.
A curious and unique specimen of the native comic dances,
with dialogues, called _bailes_, formerly common in Central
America. It is in the mixed Nahuatl-Spanish jargon of Nicaragua,
and shows distinctive features of native authorship. The
Introduction treats of the ethnology of Nicaragua, and the local
dialects, musical instruments, and dramatic representations. A
map and a number of illustrations are added.
No. IV. A MIGRATION LEGEND OF THE CREEK INDIANS.
By A. S. GATSCHET. 251 pages. Cloth, uncut, $3.00.
This learned work offers a complete survey of the ethnology of
the native tribes of the Gulf States. The strange myth or legend
told to Gov. Oglethorpe, in 1732, by the Creeks, is given in the
original, with an Introduction and Commentary.
No. V. THE LENÂPÉ AND THEIR LEGENDS.
By Dr. DANIEL G. BRINTON. Cloth, uncut, $3.00.
Contains the complete text and symbols, 184 in number, of the
WALAM OLUM or RED SCORE of the Delaware Indians, with the full
original text, and a new translation, notes and vocabulary.
A lengthy introduction treats of the Lenâpé or Delawares,
their history, customs, myths, language, etc., with numerous
references to other tribes of the great Algonkin stock.
