Kanohatino ('red river'). The Caddo 

 name for the Red r. of Louisiana, and, 

 according to Gatschet, for the Colorado r. 

 of Texas. It was supposed by the com- 

 panions of La Salle to be the name of a 

 tribe encountered by them in the neigh- 

 borhood of the Colorado or the Brazos. 

 From the alternative name given, "Ay- 

 ano," or "Ayona," it has been errone- 

 ously assumed that this tribe was the 

 Hainai. "Ayano," however, is evidently 

 the general Caddo word for "man." Al- 

 though a Caddo tribe may have been liv- 

 ing or camping in the region indicated 

 when La Salle passed, the fact that tliey 

 were not mentioned when Leon advanced 

 to the Caddo country a few years later 

 would seem to discredit the theory. The 

 only alternative supposition is that the 

 Wichita or one of their branches, the 

 Tawakoni or the Waco, were camping 

 considerably to the s. of their customary 

 habitat at that time. This would explain 

 the warfare that was found to exist be- 

 tween the Caddo and the Kanohatino in 

 which some of La Salle's former compan- 

 ions took part. (j. R. s. )

Kansa. A southwestern Siouan tribe; 

 one of the five, according to Dorsey's 

 arrangement, of the Dhegiha group. 

 Their linguistic relations are closest with 

 the Osage, and are close with the Qua paw. 

 In the traditional migration of the group, 

 after the Quapaw had first separated 

 therefrom, the main body divided at the 

 month of Osage r., the Osage moving up 

 that stream and the Omaha and Ponca 

 crossing Missouri r. and proceeding 

 northward, while the Kansa ascended 



the Missouri on the s. side to the mouth 

 of Kansas r. Here a brief halt was made, 

 after which they ascended the Misscjuri 

 on thes. side until they reached thejires- 

 ent N. boundary of Kansas, where they 

 were attacked by the Cheyenne and com- 

 pelled to retrace their steps. They set- 

 tled again at the mouth of Kansas r., 

 where the Big Knives, as they called the 

 whites, came with gifts and induced them 

 to go farther w. Tlie native narrators of 

 this tradition give an account of about 

 20 villages occupied successively along 

 Kansas r. before the settlement atCouncil 



KANSA. (kAKEBASHa) 



Grove, Kans., whence they were finally 

 removed to their reservation in Indian 

 Ter. Marquette's autograph map, drawn 

 probably as early as 1674, places the 

 Kansa a considerable distance directly 

 w. of the Osage and some distance s. of 

 the Omaha, indicating that they were 

 then on Kansas r. The earliest recorded 

 notice of the Kansa i-i by Juan de Onate, 

 who went from San (ial)riel, N. Mex., in 

 1601, till he met the " Escansaques," who 

 lived 100 leatiues to the n. e., near the 

 "Panana," or Pawnee. It is known that 

 the Kansa moved up Kansas r. in historic
