and flows from the southwest. Unlike the river just considered, this 
one bears the Siouan name. In 1861 it is found as Wild Rice river.’ 
In 1850 it was called Psaw or Wild Rice,’ while in 1848 and 1843 it 
was given as Jiu or Wild Rice river.’ A map of 1838 gives the 
stream as (se river.* 
During the year 1836 two synonyms are found, the word being 
written both /%e° and Jpse.* Beltrami named this stream, as well as 
the one on the east side of the Red river of the North, the W7/d Oats 
river,’ the one from the west being called Saw- Watpa.  Watpa' is the 
Dakota word for river.’ Keating said that in 1823 the traders called 
both of these tributaries of the Red river of the North W7/d-rice, or 
Folle Avoine.’ Tanner calls the one which discharges from the west 
the **Gaunenoway,” and Coues says that ‘*Gaunenoway stands for 
Manominee.”° 
Besides the Red Cedar river, which discharges into the Chippeway 
and through it into the Mississippi, and both of which have borne 
names synonymous with wild rice, other waters will be mentioned 
which feed the upper Mississippi, all of which bear the wild rice 
cognomen. 
In 1892 there was a Janomin viver flowing into the Mississippi 
from the east. It drains both Rice Lake in Aitkin county, Minnesota, 
and a MJanomin lake near at hand, while immediately north of it is 
another /?7ce lake draining into Sandy lake at Aitkin county.’ W7/d 
Oats viver is the name given this stream in 1819. About fifteen 
years previous Lewis and Clarke called it We/d Oats R[vver|. It enters 
the Mississippi river from the east between degrees 46 and 47 north 
latitude. This is probably the Janomin river of the map ** Hydro- 
graphical Basis . . . ” made in 1843. Beltrami wrote that he named 
two lakes, some 5 or 6 miles in circumference, near the source of the 
Mississippi, Janomeny-Kany-aguen, because, as he explained it, they 
were full of wild rice."* Psin-ta-wah-pa-dan ov Little Rice River 
is now called ice Creech, and enipties into the Mississippi from the 
vast a few miles north of Minneapolis.”  Pnidiwin or Manomin or
