OFADAOUGEOUNATON OUGHETGEODATONS 



173 



Oaadaongeoanaton. Mentioned by Al- 

 cedo (Die. Cieog., in, 416, 1788) as an 

 Indian settlement of Louisiana, "in the 

 territory of the Sioux of the west." The 

 name is possibly a synonym of Wea. 



Ouade. A village in Georgia, about 

 1564, near the coast, apparently on or 

 near lower Altamaha r. De Bry (Brev. 

 Narr., ii, map, 1591) locates it on the 

 coast of South Carolina, s. of Ft St Helena. 

 The name may be a dialectic form of 

 Guale, q. v. 



Oualeanicou, A tribe mentioned by 

 Coxe (Carolana, 48, 1741), in connection 

 with the Foxes and Menominee, as living 

 on Wisconsin r.. Wis. The word may be 

 a corrupted form of Iliniouec (Illinois) 

 or may possibly refer to the Winnebago. 



Ouaiuck's Band [fhi-a-luck). The local 

 name of a Snake band formerly in Eureka 

 vallev, E. Oreg. — Drew in Ind. Aff. Rep., 

 59, 1863. 



Ouanakina. Mentioned by Smith ( Bou- 

 quet's Exped., 70, 1766) as a tribe prob- 

 ably associated with the Creeks and num- 

 bering 300. Schoolcraft includes them 

 under the heading "Upper, Middle, and 

 Lower Creeks." It is possil)le that they 

 are identical with the Wewoka (q. v.) 

 who lived on Wenoka cr., Elmore co., 

 Ala. (c. T. ) 



Onanikins.— Boudinot, Star in the West, 128, 1S16. 

 Ouanikina.— Schoolcraft, Ind. Tribes, in, 657, 1853. 



Ouananiche. A species of salmon (Sal- 

 mo sdlnr ouanayiidie) found in the waters 

 of E. Quebec and part of Labrador. Cham- 

 bers (The Ouananiche, 50, 1896) cites 26 

 different spellings, literary and popular, 

 French Canadian and English, including 

 ivananish, oulninirhe, wininish, and »'m- 

 ania, all of them corruptions of the 

 French Canadian ouananiche, which form 

 appears in the documents of the old 

 Jesuit missionaries. An English iWna/n's 

 dates back to the first decade of the 19th 

 century; aivenanish is used by Bouchette 

 somewhat later. The source of the 

 word is iranamsh in the Montagnais dia- 

 lect of Algonquian, which seems to be a 

 diminutive in -/.';/( of v'anans or atranans, 

 one of the words for salmon in the older 

 language. Dr Wm. Jones suggests a cog- 

 nate form of the Chippewa v'l)un1sh, 'un- 

 pleasant fat' ( /.s/i referring to unpleasant- 

 ness), and says the same language haswi- 

 nlsl (animate), 'is unclean.' (a. f. c.) 



Ouapoa. A tribe mentioned bv La 

 Salle in 1680 (Margry, Dec, ii, 60, 1877) 

 as living in lower Michigan. Probably 

 Poves, or Poux, i. e. Potawatomi, with 

 the demonstrative prefix ona. (,i. m. ) 



Ouasouarini (probably for Aimstsiivlnh 

 nhvfig, 'people of the Bullhead clan.' — 

 W. J.) . A Chippewa tribe living in 1640 

 on Georgian bav, Ontario, n. of the Hu- 

 rons (Jes. Rel. 1640, 34, 1858). They are 

 probably identical with the Ouassi, found 



in the vicinity of Nipigon r. in 1736; also 

 with the Ouasaouanik, spoken of in 1658 

 as a well-known tribe living near the 

 Sault Ste Marie. The Ouassi were found 

 by J. Long in 1791, mixed with other 

 Chippewa, on the n. shore of L. Superior, 

 almost exactly in the locality assigned 

 them by Dobbs in 1744. Chauvignerie 

 estimated their number in 1736 at about 

 300 souls, and state<l that the catfish 

 (bullhead) was their totem, which was 

 also the totem of the Awausee (q. v. ), one 

 of the Chippewa bands at Sault Ste Marie. 



Aouasanik.— Jes. Rel. 1648, 62, 1858. Awasatci".— 

 VVm. Jones inf n, 1905 (correct Chippewa form). 

 Ouace. — Chauvignerie (1736) in N. Y. Doc. Col. Hist., 

 IX, 1054, 1855. Ouali.— Chauvignerie (1736) quoted 

 by Schoolcraft, Ind. Tribes, 111,556, 1853( misprint). 

 Ouasaouanik. — Jes. Rel. 1658, 22, 1858. Ouasou- 

 arim.— Jes. Rel. 1640, 34, 1888. Ouassi.— Dobbs, 

 Hudson Bay, 32, 1744. Wasawanik.— Jes. Rel., in, 

 index, 1858. Wasses.— Long, Voy. and Trav., 45, 

 1791. 



Ouenrio. A Huron village, situated, ac- 

 cording to the Jesuit Relation for 1635, 

 about 1 league from Ossossane. Father 

 Jones (Jes. Rel., xxxiv, 255, 1898) places 

 it in Tiny tp., about 3 m. n. e. of La Fon- 

 taine, Ontario. Its people had previously 

 been a part of those of Toanche and Ihona- 

 tiria. In 1635 three feasts were held here 

 to satisfy a dream, the description of the 

 accompanying ceremonies giving a fair 

 idea of such performances (Jes. Rel., x, 

 201, 1897). In 1637 an epidemic caused 

 great distress to the inhabitants of Ouen- 

 rio, carrying off many and creating a 

 desire to have the Jesuit missionaries 

 dwell among them. In his Relation for 

 1635 Le Jeune says their cabins were 

 better than the hovels of the Montagnais 

 and were constructed like bowers, or 

 garden arbors, of which, instead of 

 branches and grass, some were covered 

 with cedar bark, others with broad strips' 

 of ash, elm, fir, or spruce bark; and al- 

 though those of cedar were regarded as 

 best, they were very inflammable, where- 

 fore so many similar villages had been 

 burned. (j. n. b. h. ) 



Oueschekgagamiouilimy (possibly for 

 Ushasliatagamiivinlnlv'ua, 'people of the 

 ridge' ). TheCaribougensof the Chippe- 

 wa of Rainy r., Minn. St Pierre in 1753 

 (Margry, Dec, vi, 649,1886) spoke of them 

 as near Rainy lake, Ontario. ( w. j. ) 



Oughetgeodatons ('dung village'). A 

 village or subdivision of one of the western 

 Sioux l)ands.
