Kitsanaka. Civen by Dawson (Queen 

 Charlotte Ids., 134, 1880) as the name of 

 one of four Haida clans, the word being 

 supposed to signify "crow." As there 

 are only two Haida clans, the Raven 

 (Hoya) and the Elagle (Got), and the 

 word for crow is kldldjida, it is evident 

 that Dawson misunderstood his inform- 

 ant, (j. K. s.) 



Kittamaquindi ( properly Kittamnqueink, 

 ' place of the old great beaver.' — Hewitt). 

 The principal village of the Conoy (Pis- 

 "cataway) in Maryland in 1639. In that 

 year the Jesuits established there a mis- 

 sion, which was removed in 1642 to Po- 

 topaco on account of the inroads of the 

 Conestoga and their allies. According 

 to Brinton the village was at the junction 

 of Tinkers cr. with the Piscataway, a 

 few miles above the Potomac, in Prince 

 George co. (.i. m. )

 of mixed Iroquois, Delaware, and Caugh- 

 nawaga, formerly about the site of the 

 present Kittanning, on Allegheny r., in

 the Pennsylvanians in 1756 after a des- 

 perate fight. It seems to have consisted

 on the E. side of the river. ]\Iiddle Kit- 

 tanning was on the w. bank. (.i. m. )

Kituhwa (KMlnm). A former impor- 

 tant Cherokee settlement on Tuckasegee 

 r. , and extending from above the junc- 

 tion of the Oconaluftee nearly to the 

 present Bryson City, Swain co., N. C. 

 The name, which appears also as Ket- 

 tooah, Kittoa, Kittowa, etc., has lost its 

 meaning. The people of this and the 

 subordinate settlements on the waters of 

 the Tuckasegee were known as Ani-Kit- 

 lihwagi, and the name was fre(]uently ex- 

 tended to include the whole tribe. For 

 this reason it was adopted in later times 

 as the name of the Cherokee secret or- 

 ganization, commonly known to the 

 whites as the Ketoowah society, pledged 

 to the defence of Cherokee autonomv. —

Kitunahan Family. A linguistic family 

 established by Powell (7th Rep. B. A. E., 

 85, 1891) to include the single Kutenai 

 tribe (q. v. ). The name is adopted from 

 Hale's term, Kitunaha, applied to the 

 tribe. This family has since been found 

 to consist of two tribes with slightly differ- 

 ing dialects, viz., the Upper Kutenai and 

 the Lower Kutenai, the former beingprop- 

 erly the Kitona'qa, thelatterthe AqkoqtK- 

 atlqo. Certain other minor differences 

 exist between these two sections. The 

 following family synonyms are chrono-
