letan. A term which, with " Tetau " 

 and other forms of the name, was applied 

 by writers of the early part of the 19th 

 century to several western tribes. 

 Mooney (17th Rep. B. A. E., 167, 1898) 

 explains its application as follows: "The 

 Ute of the mountain region at the head- 

 waters of the Platte and the Arkansas, 

 being a powerful and aggressive tribe, 

 were well known to all the Indians of 

 the plains, who usually called them by 

 some form of their proper name, Yatmmts, 

 or, in its root form, Yida, whence we get 

 Eutaw, Utah, and Ute., Among the 

 Kiowa the name becomes Idtd{-go), while 

 the Siouan tribes seem to have nasalized 

 it so that the early French traders wrote it 

 as Ayutan, latan, or letan. By prefixing 

 the French article it became L' latan, and 

 afterward Aliatan, while by misreading of 

 the manuscript word we get Jatan, Jetan, 

 and finally Tetau. Moreover, as the early 

 traders and explorers knew but little of 

 the mountain tribes, they frequently con- 

 founded those of the same generic stock, 

 so that almost any of these forms may 

 mean Shoshoni, Ute, or Comanche, ac- 

 cording to the general context of the 

 description." By reason of the varied 

 applications of letan and its equivalents, 

 the name is here treated separately.
