KATCHANA AK^ K ATMAI 



[b. a. e. 



Katchanaak ( QdtcxA^na-dkf, 'Hip 

 lake' ). The native name for the Tlingit 

 town now known as Wransell, the winter 

 town of the Stikine Indians of Alaska. 

 It was so named because the mountain 

 behind it resembles a human hip and the 

 inner harl^ur is so shut in as to appear like 

 a lake. Indian pop. 228 in 1890; total 

 population (white and Indian) 868 in 

 19U0. (j. R. s.) 



Katearas. One of the principal villages 

 of the Tuscarora in 1669, "a jilace of great

 ered about Mille Lac in the 17th and 18th

 cates the village at the outlet of Mille Lac, 

 Minn., and thinks it was a Mdewakanton 

 settlement. It was visited in 1659 by 

 Radisson; in 1679 by Du Luth, who speaks 

 of it as a great village; and by Hennepin 

 in 1680. Accordingto Warren (Hist. Ojib- 

 ways, 160, 1885) it was destroyed by the 

 Chippewa about 1750. See Du Luth in
