Pappoose. An Indian infant, a child; 

 written also papoose. Roger Williams 

 (1643) gives papoos as the word for child 

 in the Narraganset dialect of Algonquian; 

 Wood (1634) has pappouse; Eliot uses 

 for child or infant peisscs, and Trumbull 

 (Words derived from Ind. Languages, 27, 

 1872) thinks that pappoose may be de- 

 rived from papeisses, a reduplicative of 

 peisses. Eliot also has papeississu, 'he is 

 very small.' On the origin of the word 

 Mr W. R. Gerard (inf'n, 1907) says: "The 

 infantine utterances papa and mama 

 are very widely distributed the world 

 over; and it is not improbable that papu 

 was the Narraganset infant's way of utter- 

 ing the syllables that in the mouths of 

 most infants are heard as papa. To this 

 the Indians may have added the diminu- 

 tive suffix -es, making papues, and used 

 the word as the name for a little child. 

 Fapi'ies comes very near in sound to 

 papoose, a word which cannot be referred 

 to any known Algonquian root. There 

 is a curious resemblance between the 

 word and the Latin p»/>H.y, 'child'. The 

 word has become widely known and 

 applied. Burton (Highlands of the 

 Brazil), in speaking of the young of the 

 tapir, says: 'and the calf [is called] 

 Tapy'ra Curumim Ocu, Papoose of the 

 big Tapir.' Peter Smith, in his Medical 

 Facts (1813), applied it to the root of 

 Caulop}ujUu7nthaUctroides,iheh\uecohosh, 

 because it was used by Indian women to 

 facilitate parturition. The word has also 

 been used as a verb, thus, Winthrop 

 (Canoe and Saddle, 1862) has: 'This fash- 



ionable [infant] was papoosed in a tight- 

 swathing wicker-work case. ' ' ' The word 

 pappoose'has been carried by white settlers 

 to the extreme W., and has found lodg- 

 ment in local varieties of the Chinook jar- 

 gon. From pappoose have been named 

 pappooseframe, an Indian cradle, and pap- 

 poose root, the blue cohosh ( Caulopliyllum 

 thalictroides) . (a. f. c. ) 



Paraje (Span.: 'place,' 'residence'). 

 A former summer village of the Laguna 

 Indians, now a permanently occupied 

 pueblo of that tribe, situated 6 m. n. nw. 

 of Laguna, Valencia co., N. Mex. Native 

 name, Tsimund, referring to a black hill 

 near by.

Parantones. A tribe of which 21 were 

 reported in 1794 at Espiritu Santo de 

 Zuniga mission, Texas, by Fr. Juan Jos6 

 Aguilar. They were with Jaranames 

 (Aranames), Tamiques, Prietos, Brazos 

 largos, Vende flechas, and Gumpusas, all 

 of which were said to have been subtribea 

 of the Jaranames (Portillo, Apuntes para 

 la Hist. Antigua de Coahuila y Texas, 

 308,1888). (h. E. B.) 



Parathees. Given by Ker (Travels, 

 113, 1816) as the name of a tribe living 

 apparently on Red r., n. w. Texas. Not 

 identifiable and probably mythical. 



Parcliaqne. A tribe, evidently Coa- 

 huiltecan, mentioned in 1675 by Fernando 

 del Bosque. They, with the Catujanos, 

 Tilijaes, and Apes, are said to have occu- 

 pied the country n. e. from Monclova 

 across the Rio Grande (Exped., in Nat. 

 Geog. Mag., xiv, 347, 1903). They were 

 mentioned by Massanet in 1690 in his list 

 of tribes, and in 1691 were said by him to 

 have lived between the Sabinas and the 

 Rio Grande. On his expedition to the 

 Hasinai country from San Salvador del 

 Valle de Santiago, he met them about 

 10 leagues s. of the Rio Grande. They, 

 with Mescaleros, Yoricas, Chomes, Ala- 

 chomes, and Pamais (Pamayes?) accom- 

 panied the Spanish party several days. 

 Massanet said they were wanderers, with- 

 out agriculture, living on buffalo meat 

 and wild products. Some words of these 

 tribes Massanet recorded; thus, asaguan 

 meant 'heart,' and ganaj^etuan, their 

 name for the Rio Grande, meant 'large 

 body of water' (Diario, 1691, in Mem. de 

 Nueva Espaiia, xxvii, 90, MS. ; Velasco,
