[b. a. e. 



probably in n. w. Mississippi. There is 

 reason for believing that this may have 

 been the Natchez.

ftuigaute. A town and province vr. of 

 the Mississippi at which De Soto's army 

 arrived Aug. 4, 1541, when marching s. 

 from Pacaha ( Quapaw ) . The people were 

 sun-worshipers. According to the Gen- 

 tleman of Elvas this was the largest town 

 the Spaniards saw in the province of 

 Florida. It was in e. Arkansas, n. of Ar- 

 kansas r.

Quigyuma. A Yuman tribe, which, 

 with the Cajuenche, spoke a dialect close 

 to that of the Yuma proper. In 1604-05 

 they occupied 6 rancherias on the Rio 

 Colorado below the mouth of the Gila 

 and above the Cocopa; in 1762 (Rudo 

 Ensayo, Guiteras trans., 131, 1894) they 

 dwelt in a fertile plain, 10 or 12 leagues in 

 length, on the e. bank of the Colorado, 

 and here they were found by Father 

 Garces in 1771 in a group of rancherias 

 which he named Santa Rosa. By 1775, 

 however, when Garces revisited the 

 tribe, which he designates as the " Qui- 

 quiina or Jalliquamay," they had moved 

 to the w. side of the river. Their first 

 ran(;herias on the n. were in the vicinity 

 of Ogden's landing, about lat. 32° 18^, 

 where they met the Cajuenche. On the 

 s. their territory bordered that of their 

 kindred, but enemies, the Cocoi^a. The 

 Rudo Ensayo (m. 1762) mentions them as 

 the most populous tribe on the river. 

 Garces (1775) estimated their number at 

 2,000, and described them as being a 

 generous people, with abundant provi- 

 sions; they were more cleanly than the 

 Cajuenche or the Yuma, "and as the 

 women do not paint so much, they ap- 

 pear middling white" (Diary, 1775, 181, 

 1900). It is possible that the Quigyu- 

 ma were finally absorbed by the Cocopa 

 or by some other Yuman tribe. Their 

 rancherias, so far as recorded, were 

 Presentacion, San Casimiro, San Fe- 

 lix de Valoia, San Rudesindo, and Santa 

 Rosa. ( F. w. H. )

ftuileute. A Chimakuan tribe, now the 

 only rei^resentative of the linguistic stock, 

 whose main seat is at Lapush, at the 

 mouth of Quillayute r., about 35 m. s. of 

 C. Flattery, w. coast of Washington. A 

 small division of the tribe, the Hoh, live 

 at the mouth of the river of the same 

 name, 15 m. s. of Lapush. Since they 

 have been known to the whites the 

 Quileute have always been few in num- 

 ber, but being of an independent and 

 warlike disposition and occupying an 

 easily defended situation, they have suc- 

 cessfully resisted all the attempts of 

 neighboring tribes to dislodge them. 

 Their most active enemies have been 

 the IMakah, of Neah bay, and until they 

 came under the control of the United 

 States petty warfare between the two 

 tribes was constant. The Quileute are 

 noted for their skill in pelagic sealing and 

 are the most successful in that pursuit 

 of all the tribes of the coast. They are 

 also daring whalers, but have not at- 

 tained the proficiency of the Makah. 

 Salmon are caught in considerable num- 

 bers and constitute an important article 

 of food. Roots and berries of various 

 kinds are also much used. Although 

 the woods in their vicinity abound 

 with deer, elk, and bear, the Quileute 

 seem to have hunted them but little and 

 have confined themselves to a seafar- 

 ing life. There is evidence that a clan 

 system of some sort formerly existed 

 among them, but is now broken down. 

 Their customs as well as their mj'thology 

 indicate a possible connection with the 

 triV)es of Vancouver id. The Quileute, 

 together with the Quinaielt, by treaty at
