country, and became greatly reduced in 

 numbers. In 1772 the main Kichai vil- 

 lage was E. of Trinity r., not far from Pal- 

 estine, perhaps a little n. e. At that time 

 it was composed of 30 houses, occupied by 

 80 warriors, "for the most part young." 

 In 1778 there was another village, "sepa- 

 rated from the main body of the tribe," 

 farther s. and in nearly a direct line 

 from San Pedro to the Tawakoni villages, 

 probably on the site of the present Salt 

 City. The junta de guerra held in the 

 same year estimated the strength of the 

 Kichai at 100 fighting men (Bolton, inf'n, 

 1906). With several other small Texas 

 tribes they were assigned by the United 

 States Government to a reservation on 

 Brazos r. in 1855, but on the dispersal of 

 the Indians by the Texans three years 

 later they fled n. and joined the Wichita, 

 with whom they have since been associ- 

 ated, and whom they resemble in their 

 agriculture, house-building, and general 

 customs. About 50 souls still keep the 

 tribal name and language.

Kichesipirini ('men of the great river,' 

 from kiclie 'great', slpi 'river', irininuek 

 'men.' By the Huron they were called 

 Ehonkeronon; frorh the place of their 

 residence they were often designated Al- 

 gonquins of the Island, and Savages of 

 the Island). Once an important tribe 

 living on Allumette id., in Ottawa r., Que- 

 bec province. They were considered as 

 the typical Algonkin, and in order to 

 distinguish them from the other tribes 

 included under the term in this restricted 

 sense were called "Algonquins of the Is- 

 land," a name first applied by Champlain 

 (see Ah/onkin). As Ottawa r. was the line 

 of travel between the ui)per-lake coun- 

 try and the French settlements, the posi- 

 tion of the tribe made it at times trouble- 

 some to traders and voyageurs, although 

 as a rule they appear to have been peace- 

 able. In 1645 the}^ together with the 

 Hurons, made a treaty of peace with the 

 Iroquois; but it was of short duration, 

 for 5 years later both the Hurons and 

 the Kichesipirini fled for safety to more 

 distant regions. What became of them 

 is not known. It is prol)able that they 

 were consolidated with the Ottawa or 

 with some other northwestern Algon- 

 quian tribe. (j. m. j. n. b. h.)
