Virginia documentary history shows that a Siouan tribe called 
Moniton (‘‘Big Water People”) were living on or near the Kanawha 
River, West Virginia, as late as the latter half of the seventeenth 
century.'* If my hypothesis, as above outlined, is correct there 
was also, down to the historic period, a Siouan tribe just beyond them 
in southern Ohio. At the same time it was well-known among the 
Indians along the middle course of the Mississippi that the Arkansas 
tribe, known to us in later times as Quapaw, had formerly dwelt on 
that part of the Ohio above its junction with the Wabash. Besides — 
the published statements to that effect?° may be cited the following 
excerpt from an unpublished French document, a copy of which is in 
the Manuscripts Division of the Library of Congress. The writer 
of this document enumerates five rivers falling into the Wabash, by 
which he means our present Wabash and that part of the Ohio between 
the junction of the two streams and the Mississippi, and he calls the 
third of these, now known as part of the Ohio proper, ‘‘Riviére des 
Accansa qui autres fois y demeuroient et ont abandonné leur village.” 
The intimate linguistic relationship of the Osage, Kansa, Omaha, and 
Ponka with this tribe and their own traditions indicate a migration 
from the Ohio rather than the reverse, while the separation of the 
Iowa, Oto, and Missouri from the Winnebago seems to have been 
fresh in the minds of two of these peoples down into the last century.
