Keinouche ( Kinozhd'K ' pickerel' ) . One 

 of the divisions or chief bands of the 

 Ottawa, q. v. « The Jesuit Relation of 1640 

 locates them at that time, under the name 

 Kinounchepirini, s. of the Isle of the 

 Aigonquins ( AUumette id. ) in Ottawa r. 

 This would place them, if taken literally, 

 some distance e. of L. Huron; but as the 

 knowledge then possessed by the French 

 was very imperfect, it i^ probable that 

 the Relation of 1643, whi(;h places them 

 on L. Huron, is more nearly correct. In 

 1658 they appear to have live<l along theN. 

 shore of the lake. Between 1660-70 they, 

 with the Kiskakon and Sinago, were 

 attached to the mission at Shaugawaumi- 

 kong (now Bayfield), on the s. shore of 

 L. Superior. It is probable, however, that 

 at the time of Father Menard's visit, in 

 1660, they were at Keweenaw bay, Mich. 

 In 1670-71 they returned to Mackinaw, 

 some passing on to Manitoulin id. ; but it 

 is probable that the latter, or a part of 

 them, were included in the Sable band,
