 gate, once had a town in connection with

 Gitins is a synonym for Eagle clan, and 

 the name of the subdivision would nat- 

 urally have been Hlgaiu-gitinai, but the 

 family was so prominent tliat, as in a sim- 

 ilar case at Masset, it came to be called 

 simply Gitins. This was the subdivision 

 or family that owned the town of Skide- 

 gate, Queen Charlotte ids., Brit. Col. It 

 was divided into two principal branches — 

 Nayuuns-haidagai and Nasagas-haida- 

 gai. Subordinate branches were the La- 

 galaiguahl-lanas and the Gitin-gidjats. —

 GUiiis). An important family group of 

 the Haida, living at jMasset, Queen Char- 

 lotte ids., Brit. Col. Its prominence at 

 Masset, like that of the Gitins at Skide- 

 gate, was such that no further designation 

 was used. Two principal subdivisions 

 recognized were the ]\Iamun-gitunai and 

 the Undlskadjins-gitunai; inferior divi- 

 sions were the Tees-gitunai and the Sad- 

 jugahl-lanas. (.j.r. s. )

Glikhikan. A Delaware warrior and 

 orator. He was one of the chief captains 

 of the Delawares, who, in an argument 

 with the French priests in Canada had, in 

 the opinion of the Indians, refuted the 

 Christian doctrine. Thinking to achieve 

 a similarvictory and win back to paganism 

 the Christian Delawares, he challenged the 

 IMoravian missionaries to a debate in 1769. 

 To the dismay of his admirers he was 

 himself converted to Christianity, and in 

 the following year went to live with the 

 United Brethren. In the Revolutionary 

 war his diplomacy saved the Christian 

 settlements from destruction at the hands 

 of the Hurons under Half-King in 1777, 

 and when the latter, on Sept. 4, 1781, cap- 

 tured him and the German missionaries, 

 their chief interfered to save Glikhikan 

 from the wrath of his INIunsee tribesmen 

 who were with the Hurons. Glikhikan 

 was murdered and scalped at Gnaden- 

 huetten on ]\Iar. 8, 1782, by the white 

 savages under Col. David Williamson.
