The Menominee synonym is the equivalent of the Ojibwa one 

 (vide supra), but the exact phonetics are uncertain ; the Winnebago 

 synonym means "foxes," but the exact phonetics are uncertain. ^^ 



In the vicinity of Tama, Iowa (their present location), they 

 are not known as "Foxes," but as "Meskwakies," "Mesquakies," 

 "Tama Indians."^^

2' Jones. Handbook of American Indian Languages. Pt. i: 741. This is the 

 Ojibway synonym, meaning "People of the Other Shore" (Jones, Loc. cit. and 

 American Anthropologist, N. S. 6: 370), or "Those who live on the opposite side" 

 (Warren, History of the Ojibways: 33). Parkman's statement {Half-Century of 

 Conflict, i: Z33y footnote i) that "The name Outagamie is Algonkin for a fox. Hence 

 the French called the tribe Renards, and the Americans, Foxes," is echoed by Kel- 

 LOG, Wise. Hist. Soc. Proc. 1907: 142. This simply betrays ignorance of Algonkin 

 languages. See also my discussion of the early history of the Foxes. The absurd 

 blunder has been repeated by Steward, Op. cit. 79.
