MACOCANICO MAGIC 



783 



'big turtle' in Chippewa. According to 

 Dr William Jones the Chippewa of Min- 

 nesota claim the word to be a shortened 

 form of mislunlindkinunk, 'place of the 

 big wounded or big lame person.' This, 

 however, may be an instance of folk ety- 

 mology. " (a. f. _c.) 



Macocanico ('great house'). A village 

 on the w. bank of Patuxent r., in St

 of the Delawares, formerly in Delaware

 was waged against the English settle-

 in dialect. They are vigorous and strong, 

 finding in the waters of the tundra plenty 

 of blackfish to nourish them at all sea- 

 sons. In winter they kill many hair seal 

 on the floes, on which they venture with 

 their sleds, carrying canoes on which the 

 sleds are transported in turn when it is 

 necessary to take to the water. They 

 build good houses of driftwood and the 

 bones of whales killed by the whaling 

 fleet, and the carcasses floating ashore 

 have long supplied them with food. The 

 tribe numbered 2,147 in 1890. The fol- 

 lowing are Magemiut villages: Anovok,
