DONACONA DRAGGING-CANOE 



399 



In the California-Oregon area birds of 

 gay plumage were caged, plucked, and 

 then set free. On Santa Catalina id. birds 

 called large crows by the Spaniards were 

 kept and worshipped, recalling Boscana's 

 story of the Shoshonean condor cult on 

 the adjacent California coast. In the 

 S. VV., the desert area, the whole devel- 

 opment of domestication is seen. The 

 coyote was allowed to feed about the 

 camps. The Querecho ( Vaquero Apache) 

 of Coronado in 1541 had a great number 

 of large dogs which they obliged to carry 

 their baggage when they moved from place 

 to place ( see Trarois). Someof the Pueblo 

 tribes practised also the caging of eagles, 

 the rearing of turkeys, and, since the com- 

 ing of the Spaniards, the herding of sheep, 

 goats, burros, and horses. (o. t. m.) 



Donacona. A Huron chief found by 

 Jacques Cartier, in 1535, residing with his 

 people at the junction of St Croix and St 

 Lawrence rs., Canada. Although Cartier 

 was well received and kindly treated by 

 this chief, he managed, partly by strata- 

 gem and partly by force, to convey the 

 latter aljoard his vessel and carry him to 

 France where he soon died. (c. t.)

 mentioned in 1793 as situated on Flint r.,

Dostlan-lnagai {Dd-sL.'an-lnagd^-i, 'west- 

 coast rear-town people'). A local sub- 

 division of the Stlenga-lanas, one of the 

 larger Haida divisions on the Raven 

 side, who lived on the n. w. coast of 

 Queen Charlotte ids., Brit. Col. A small 

 section of them was called Kaiihl- 

 lanas.— Swanton, Cont. Haida, 271, 1905.

Dotame. A tribe of which Lewis and 

 Clark learned from Indian informants. 

 They were said to speak the Comanche 

 language and to number 30 warriors, or 

 120 souls, in 10 lodges. No traders had 

 been among them; they trafficked usually 

 with the Arikara, were hostile toward 

 the Sioux, but friendly with the Mandan, 

 the Arikara, and with their neighbors. 

 From the use of the name in connection 

 with Cataka (Kiowa Apache) and Ne- 

 mousin (Comanche), the Dotame are 

 seemingly identifiable with the Kiowa.

Dotchetonne. An unidentified Texan 

 tribe allied to the Caddo in 1687 ( Joutel 



in Margry, Dec, iii, 409, 1878). The 

 ending suggests dinne, tinne, the Atha- 

 pascan term for ' people, ' and hence a 

 possible Apache connection. 



Dotle. A Koyukukhotana village on 

 Kovukuk r., Alaska; pop. 12 in 1885.

Dotuskustl ( Do't.'AsklAsL, ' those who 

 left the west coast'). A subdivision of 

 the Sagua-lanas, a division of the Eagle 

 clan of the Haida. The name seems to 

 imply that they formerly lived on the w. 

 coast of Queen Charlotte ids., Brit. Col., 

 but in historical times they were in the 

 town of Kung, in Naden harbor, with 

 the other Sagua-lanas. — Swanton, Cont. 

 Haida, 275, 1905.

Douglas. The local name for a body of 

 Lower Lillooet between Lillooet and Har- 

 rison lakes, Brit. Col.; pop. 76 in 1904. —

Doustioni. A tribe, formerly living on 

 Red r. of Louisiana, that from its proxim- 

 ity to the Natchitoches and the Yatasi was 

 probably kindred thereto and belonged 

 to the Caddo confederacy. The people 

 are mentioned by Joutel, in 1687, as al- 

 lies of the Kadohadacho. Penicaut, in 

 1712, met them with a party of Natchi- 

 toches, and remarks that for the 5 years 

 previous they had been constantly wan- 

 dering, and living by the chase (Margry, 

 Dec, V, 488). Their warriors at that 

 time numbered about 200. The cause of 

 the abandonment of their village is un- 

 known, but when in 1714 they accepted 

 the invitation of St Denys to settle near 

 the Natchitoches, and seed was given 

 them, they seem to have returned to 

 their agricultural and village life. In 

 1719 La Harpe speaks of them as num- 

 bering 150 and ilwellingon an island in 

 Red r. not far distant from the French 

 post among the Natchitoches. If any 

 survive they are merged with the kindred 

 Caddo in Oklahoma. (a. c. f. )

Dragging-canoe (translation of his In- 

 dian name, Tsiyu-giinsini; known also as 

 Cheucunsene and Kunnesee). A promi- 

 nent leader of those Cherokee who were 

 hostile to the Americans during the 

 Revolutionary war. He moved with his 

 party to the site of Chickamauga, where 

 he continued to harass the Tennessee 

 settlements until 1782, when the Chicka- 

 mauga towns were l)roken up. His peo- 

 ple then moved farther down the river 

 and established the "five lower towns," 

 l)ut these also were destroyed in 1 794. In 

 accounts of the Creek war Dragging-canoe 

 is mentioned as one of the prominent 

 Cherokee chiefs in alliance with Jackson, 

 and a participant in the last great en.coun-
