Kawia. A Yokuts trilje formerly living 

 on the edge of the plains on the n. side of 

 Kaweah r., Cal., but now extinct. They 

 were hostile to the American settlers. 

 By agreement of May 13, 1851 ( which was 

 not confirmed),' a reserve was set aside 

 for this and other tribes between Kaweah 

 and Chowchilla rs., Cal., which at the 

 same time ceded their unreserved lands. 

 This tribe is to be distinguished from the 

 Kawia (Coaliuila, Cahuillo, etc.), a Sho- 

 shonean tribe in Riverside co., Cal.

Kawita. The name of two former 

 Lower Creek towns on Chattahoochee 

 r., in Russell co., Ala. They were situ- 

 ated 2J m. apart and were commonly 

 distinguished as Upper Kawita and Ka- 

 wita Talahasi ( 'ICawitaold town' ), in vari- 

 ous forms of spelling. The former was 

 situated on the w. bank of the river, 3 m. 

 below its falls, the latter ^ m. from the 

 stream. Kawita Talahasi, or Old Kawita, 

 was the "public establishment" of the 

 Lower Creeks and the headquarters of 

 the agent. In 1799 it could muster 66 

 warriors, and about the year 1833 the 

 town contained 289 families. It was an 

 offshoot from Kasihta, and in turn gave 

 origin to Wetumpka, on Big Uchee cr. 

 From the fact that Kawita was regarded 

 as the assembly place and treaty capital 

 of the Lower Creeks, the name was fre- 

 quently used synonymously with Lower 

 Creeks; as Kusa, the name of the capital 

 of the Upper Creeks, was sometimes used 

 to desisnate that portion of the tribe. In 

 1775 Bartram (Trav., 387, 1792) spoke of 

 Kawita Talahasi as "the bloody town, 

 where the micos, chiefs, and warriors 

 assemble when a general war is proposed; 

 and here captives and state malefactors 

 are put to death." (a. s, g.)
