KARANKAWAN FAMILY KARIGOUISTES 



[b. a. e. 



fleshier. Their hair was unusually coarse, 

 and worn so long by many of the men 

 that it reached to the waist. Agriculture 

 was not practised by these Indians, their 

 food supply being obtained from the wa- 

 ters, the chase, and wild plants, and, to 

 a limited extent, human flesh; for, like 

 most of the tribes of the Texas coast, they 

 were cannibals. Travel among them was 

 almost wholly by the canoe, or dugout, 

 for they seldom left the coast. Head- 

 flattening and tattooing were practised to 

 a considerable extent. Little is known 

 in regard to their tribal government, fur- 

 ther than that they had civil and war 

 chiefs, the former being hereditary in the 

 male line. (See Gatschet, Karankawa 

 Inds., 1891.) 



The following tribes or villages were 

 probably Karankawan: Coaque, Ebaha- 

 mo, Emet, Kouyam, Meracouman, Quara, 

 Quinet, and Toyal. The following were 

 in the country of the Karankawa, but 

 whether linguistically connected with 

 them is not certain: Ahehouen, Ahouer- 

 hopiheim, Arhau, Chorruco, Doguenes, 

 Kabaye, Kiabaha, Kopano, Las Mulas, 

 Mariames, Mendica, Mora, Ointemarhen, 

 Omenaosse, Pataquilla, Quevenes, San 

 Francisco, and Spichehat.

Karankawan Family. A family estab- 

 lished by Powell (7th Rep. B. A. E., 82, 

 1891) on the language of the Karankawa 

 tribe as determined by Gatschet. Al- 

 though this and the related tribes are 

 extinct, investigation has led to the con- 

 clusion that the Coaque, Ebahamo, and 

 other tribes or settlements of the Texas 

 coast mentioned underKarankawa (q. v. ) 

 should be included in the family.

 tioned as living w. of L. Superior and dis- 

 tinct from the Cree.— Jes. Rel. 1667, 23,

Karhadage ('in the forest.' — Hewitt). 

 An unidentified tribe, band, or village, 

 probably in Canada, with which the Iro- 

 quois affirmed they had made peace in 

 1701. Mentioned with the Chippewa, 

 Missisauga, Nipissing, and others (Living- 

 ston in N. Y. Doc. Col. Hist., iv, 899, 1854). 

 Cf. Karhagaglirooney, Karigouistes, Karri- 

 had, (j. M. ) 



Karhagaglirooney {Karhagaronon, 'peo- 

 ple of the woods'). According to Sir 

 Wm. Johnson a name applied by the Iro- 

 quois to wandering Indians n. of Quebec; 

 but as he suggests Carillon on Ottawa r. 

 as the best point for a post of trade with 

 them, they were probably more to the 

 westward. Dobbs located them n. of L. 

 Huron. The term is a collective one, re- 

 ferring to wandering bands of different 

 tribes, possibly to the Tetes de Boule, and 

 to those called O'pimittish Ininiwac by 

 Henry.
