VII. Ti'tsakanai. The-Sewing-People, i. e., Those who sew moccasins. 



The temporary band, before mentioned as the Nau'nieni — Ridge People 

 — are given in Schoolcraft as Par-kee-na-um. Two other names of bands 

 occur in literature, as well in the recollection of some of the Indians, but 

 as individuals in those bands had the same name as that of the band to 

 which they belonged, it became necessary at their death to rename the 

 band, as the name of a deceased Comanche is never pronounced aloud. 

 Therefore, the No'koni — Movers — became the Tistshnoie'ka — Bad-Movers, 

 and the Wiuini'em — Awl-People, were renamed as the Titsakanai — The- 

 Sewing-People.
