47 By one informant placed in the Tcukilissa moiety. 
48 These are said to have been people of wealth. One of my informants assigned this 
group to the Spanish clan, but Speck confirms the classification here made. 
49 The name is said to have been derived from the circumstance that a family of this 
group formerly lived on both sides of a creek spanned by a footlog of sassafras. 
According to one informant, instead of farming like other house groups, the male 
portion of this community hunted and fished while the women collected wild fruits and 
roots. They are said to have been the first Chickasaw to play the game of “hiding the 
bullet,” i. e., ‘the moccasin game.” 
51 According to the story, a runaway woman was found under a broken blackjack tree 
and from that circumstance the name was given to her and her descendants, 
5S21t is said that a man of this group was too lazy to build a good house and so. his 
wives were obliged to put up a low, flat-roofed house of some nondescript pattern. 
53Tt is not known whether the two house groups called Intiliho had entirely independ- 
ent origins or whether they represented one house group which became separated in 
course of time. One informant placed the Intiliho belonging to the Tcukilissa moiety in 
the Spanish clan instead of the Skunk clan, 
5 Said by another informant to have belonged to the Skunk clan. 
% One informant thought that this belonged to the Panther clan, in which case it 
should be in the other moiety. 
58 Placed by one informant in the Bird clan and hence in the Tcuka falaha moiety, 
57 By others this is said to have belonged to the Skunk clan. 
58 Another informant thought that this belonged to the Spanish clan. 
8° Given by but one informant. 
© This is probably identical with the ‘‘ Emisha taluyah” which Cushman gives as the 
name of the house group to which Governor Cyrus Harris belonged.
