Mokohoko ( Mukohuko", 'he who floats vis- 

 ible near the surface of the water'). A 

 chief of the bandofSaukthattook thelead 

 in supporting Black Hawk (q. v.) in the 

 Black Hawk war. He was of the Sturgeon 

 clan, the ruling clan of the Sauk, and was 

 a bitter enemy of Keokuk (q. v.). The 

 band still retains its identity. It refused 

 to leave Kansas when the rest of the tribe 

 went to Indian Ter., and had to be re- 

 moved thitlier by the military. It is now 

 known as the Black Hawk band, and its 

 members are the most conservative of all 

 the Sauk. (w. .t. )

Molala. A Waiilatpuan tribe forming 

 the western division of that family. Lit- 

 tle is known of their history. When first 

 met with they resided in the Cascade 

 range between Mts Hood and Scott and 

 on the w. slope, in Washington and Ore- 

 gon. The Cay use have a tradition that 

 the Molala formerly dwelt with them 

 s. of Columbia r. and became separated 

 and driven westward in their wars with 

 hostile tribes. Their dialect, while re- 

 lated, is quite distinct from that of the 

 Cayuse, and the separation probably took 

 place in remote times. The name Molala 

 is derived from that of a creek in Willa- 

 mette valley, Oreg., s. of Oregon City. 

 A band of these Indians drove out the 

 original inhabitants and occupied their 

 land. Subsequently the name was ex- 

 tended to all tlie bands. Tlie present 

 status of the tribe is not certain. In 1849 

 it was estimated to number 100; in 1877 

 Gatschet found several families living on 

 the Grande Ronde res., Oreg., and in 1881 

 there were said to be about 20 individuals 

 living in the mountains w. of Klamath 

 lake. Those f)n the Grande Ronde res. are 

 not officially enumerated, Ijutare regarded 

 as absorbed by the other tribes with whom 

 they live. With regard to the rest noth- 

 ing is known. It is probable, however, 

 that there are a few scattered survivors. 

 The Molala joined with other bands of 



Willamette valley in the treaty of Day- 

 ton, Oreg., Jan. 22, 1855, and by treaty 

 at the same place, Dec. 21, 1855, they 

 ceded their lands and agreed to remove 

 to a reservation. Chakankni, Chimbuiha, 

 and Mukanti are said to have been Molala 

 bands or settlements. (l. f. )

Monacan (possibly from an Algonquian 

 word signifying a digging stick or spade) . 

 A tribe and confederacy of Virginia in the 

 ^17th century. The confederacy occupied 

 *the upper waters of James r. above the 

 falls at Richmond. Their chief village 

 was Rasawek. They were allies of the 

 Manahoac and enemies of the Powhatan, 

 and spoke a language different from 

 that of either. They were finally incor- 

 porated with other remnants under the 

 names of Saponi and Tutelo (q. v. ). The 

 confederacy was composed of the Monacan 

 proper, Massinacac, Mohemencho, Mona- 

 hasvsano, Monasiccapano, and some other 

 tribes. 



The Monacan proper had a chief settle- 

 ment, known to the whites as M9nacan- 

 town, on James r. about 20 m. above the
