ing 'he drank by sips,' or 'he has crossed 

 the stream and come out upon the other

 headstream of Savannah r., on the boun- 

 dary between South Carolina and Georgia; 



(2) probably situated on upper Tellico r.,

 island.'

Chaui ('in the middle.' — Grinnell). A 

 tribe of the Pawnee confederacy, spoken 

 of by the French as Grand Pawnee. In 

 the po.sitions maintained l)y the 4 tribes 

 of the Pawnee confederacy the villages of 

 the Chaui were always between those of 

 the Pitahauerat on the E. and Kitkehahki 

 on the w. In the council of the confed- 

 eracy the Chaui held a prominent place, 

 their head chiefs outranking all others, 

 and being accepted as representative of the 

 Pawnee, although without power to domi- 

 nate all. the tribes. Little that is distinc- 

 tive is known of this tribe. In 1833 they 

 ceded to the United States their lands s. 

 of Platte r., Nebr., and in 1857 all lands 

 on the N. side of that stream, when the 

 Pawnee res. on Loup r. was established. 

 This land was ceded in 1876 and their 

 reservation in Oklahoma set apart. Here 

 they now live. Having taken their lands 

 in severalty, in 1892 they became citi- 

 zens of the United States. They were 

 included in the missions established 

 among the Pawnee. In customs and 

 beliefs the Chaui did not differ from 

 their congeners. They possessed many 

 interesting ceremonies, of which that con- 

 nected with the calumet (q. v. ) has been 

 preserved entire and gives evidence of 

 their well-defined cosmogony and relig- 

 ious system. The divisions and totems 



are not known. See Dunbar in Mag.

Chaunis Temoatan ( Chaun-istem-oatan, 

 'salt-making village.' — Tooker). A 

 country situated, in 1586, indefinitely . 

 westward from the English settlement 

 on Roanoke id. , N. C. Ralph Lane, from 

 misinterpreted Indian information, be- 

 lieved it to have been a copper-producing 

 region, and that it was situated " vp that 

 riuer Moratoc [Roanoke]," 20 days' 

 journey overland from the Mangoaks 

 (Nottoway), who then dwelt about 

 160 m. above the Roanoke settlement. 

 Lane's version of the Indian report shows 

 that the Indians referred to salt making 

 rather than copper mining. By Bozman, 

 Bancroft, and others, this Indian report, 

 as given by Lane, has been regarded as a 

 fiction devised by a crafty Indian to lure 

 the English to destruction; but Reynolds 

 says that n. Georgia "corresponds as 

 nearly as possible to the province of 

 Chaunis Temoatan, described by distance 

 and direction in Lane's account," while 

 Tooker places it in the vicinity of Shaw- 

 neetown, Gallatin co., 111. In view of 

 what Lane said of the Moratoc r. itself, 

 the Indians probably referred to salt 

 springs of the Kanawha and Little Kana- 

 wha valleys of West Virginia, or in the 

 slopes and foothills of the Blue Ridge 

 and Cumberland mts. "And for that 

 not only Menatonon," says Lane, "but 

 also the sauages of Moratoc themselves 

 doe report strange things of the head of 

 that riuer, and that from Moratoc itself, 

 which is a principal towne upon that 

 River, it is thirtie dayes as some of them 

 say, and some say fourtie dayes voyage 

 to the head thereof, which head they say 

 springeth out of a maine rocke in that 

 abundance; that forthwith it maketh a 

 most violent stream; and further, that
