Naikun (Xd-iki'm, 'house-point'). A 

 semi-legendary Haida town that stood 

 near the famous sand-spit at Graham 

 id., Brit. Col., which 'bears its name. 

 Anciently it was occupied by several 

 families, including the Huados, Kuna- 

 lanas, and Stlenga-lanas, but owing to in- 

 ternal troubles they separated, abandon- 

 ing the town. Later on the Naikun- 

 stustai settled there, and still later the 

 Kuna-lanas returned. John Work, in 

 1836-41, assigned to Naikun 5 houses and 

 122 inhabitants. This must have been 

 the Kuna-lanas town. It has been long 

 abandoned. (j. R. s.)

Nain. A former Moravian mission, 

 built in 1757 near the present Bethlehem, 

 Pa., and named from the ancient town in 

 Galilee. It was established for the con- 

 verted Indians, chiefly Delawares, who 

 wished to live separately from their tribe, 

 and for this purpose land was obtained 

 from the state government. In May, 1763, 

 a new and enlarged chapel was dedicated, 

 the congregation having increased in num- 

 bers and prosperity. This condition, 

 however, was of short duration, for be- 

 fore the year had closed the unfriendly 

 Indians commenced their attacks, and 

 soon the congregation was blockaded on 

 all sides. In November of the same year 

 Nain was abandoned, the Indians remov- 



ing to Philadelphia in accordance with 

 the order of the governor of Pennsylvania.
