 called themselves See-pohs-kahnu-mah-kahkee, " People 

 of the i^heasauts;"- Prince Maximilian says they called 

 themselves Numangkake, " Men," adding usually the uame 

 of their village, and that another name is Mahua-Narra, 

 "The Sulky [Ones]," applied because they separated from 

 the rest of their nation;^ of the latter uame their common 

 appellation seems to be a corruption); on Fort Berthold

 to Lewis and Clark ^) three villages — 



(<i) Matootonha.

 miliun found but two villages iu 1833, Mih-Tutta Hang-Kush and Ruhptare, evidently corresponding 

 to the first two mentioned by the earlier explorers (op. cit., p. 335).
