Nacono. One of the tribes of the 

 Haslnai, or southern Caddo, confederacy. 

 In 1691 Francisco de Jesus Maria (Rela- 

 eion, 108, MS.) located it s. e. of the 

 Neche and Nabedache tribes. In 1 721 the 

 Indians of "el Macono," evidently the 

 same, lived 5 leagues from the Neche 

 tribe. In 1716 San Francisco de los 

 Texas mission was founded near the 

 Neche and Nacachau villages to minister 

 to these two tribes and to the Nabedache 

 and Nacono (Hidalgo, letter, Oct. 6, 1716, 

 MS., Archivo General). Espinosa, who 

 was present at the founding of San Jo- 

 seph de los Nasones misson, said that it 

 was composed of Nasoni and Nacono, but 

 the latter were more likely the Nadaco 

 (Anadarko). In 1721 Aguayowas visited 

 on the Neches r. by 100 Indians from 

 el Macono, who were still regarded as 

 belonging to San Francisco mission. 

 Fena, in his diary of this expedition, 

 makes the interesting statement that 

 "their chief, who is also chief priest to 

 their idols, is blind. It is presumed that 

 after having been chief many j'ears, he 

 put out his eyes, according to a custom 

 of the Indians, in order to become chief 

 priest among them" (Diario, Mem. de 

 Nueva Espaiia, xxviii, 35, MS. ) . As their 

 name disappears thereafter, imless they 

 were the Nacomones of Rivera's list 

 (1727), they were, apparently, like nu- 

 merous other Texan tribes, absorbed by 

 their stronger neighbors. ( h. e. b. )

Nacori. A former Opata pueblo and 

 seat of a Spanish mission founded in 1645; 

 situated on Rio Viejo, an e. tributarv of 

 the upper Yaqui, lat. 29° 30^ Ion. 109°, 

 E. Sonora, Mexico. Pop. 450 in 1678; 281 

 in 1730. The town has suffered greatly 

 from Apache depredations, the last attack 

 being made in 1883. The pueblo num- 

 bered 339 persons in 1900, of whom a few 

 were Yaqui or Pima, the remainder be- 

 ing classed as Spaniards.

 Moctezuma, one of the n. tributaries of

Nacotchtank. A tribe or band, probably 

 of the Conoy, formerly living on the Ana- 

 costiabranch of the Potomac, about Wash- 

 ington, D. C. Their principal village, of 

 the same name, was near the present 

 Anacostia (a corruption of the name of 

 the tribe), in 1608. Smith seems to make 

 them of Algonquian stock, l)ut Shea says 

 they were probably Iroquoian. The Con- 

 estoga were their enemies.

Nadamin. A tribe or settlement men- 

 tioned by Joutel in 1687 (Margry, Dec, 

 III, 410, 1878) as an ally of the Hasinai 

 (Caddo). They probably lived at that 

 time in n. e. Texas, near Red r. 



Naden-hadai {Ne^dA-)i xa'da-i, 'Naden 

 river people'). A subdivision of the 

 Koetas, a family of the Raven clan of the 

 Haida. Unlike the rest of the family this 

 subdivision remained on Queen Charlotte 

 ids. and settled on Naden r. — Swanton, 

 Cont. Haida, 272, 1905. 



Nadohotzosn ( 'point of the mountain'). 

 A bandof the Chiricahua Apache (Bourke 

 in Jour. Am. Folk-lore, in, 115, 1890), 

 essentially the same as the Natootzuznof 

 the White Mountain Apache and the Na- 

 gosugn of the Pinal Coyoteros. 



Nadowa. A name, expressing utter de- 

 testation, applied by various Algonquian 

 tribes to a number of their neighboring 

 and most inveterate enemies. Its use 

 was not limited to the tribes of a single 

 linguistic stock, the historical references 

 showing that it was applied in some in- 

 stances, in a modified form, to Eskimo, 

 Siouan, and Iroquoian peoples. For syn- 

 onyms see Efikimo, Dakota, Iroquois, Iowa, 

 Teton, and Nottovay. 



The etymology of the term is in doubt. 

 The analysis proposed by Gerard (Am. 

 Anthrop., vi, 319, 326, 1904), namely, 

 'he goes to seek flesh to eat,' while 

 grammatically permissible, is historically 

 improbable, being too general. In n. 

 United States the original application 

 of the word appears to have been to vari-
