Sadammo. Given by Jesus Maria (Re- 

 lacion, MS., 1691) as a synonym for 

 Apache. Jesus Marfa and Belisle (Mar- 

 gry, Dec, vi, 344, 1886) evidently heard 

 the same name for Apache vi'hen among 

 the Hasinai of Texas. La Harpe, how- 

 ever, makes Sadamons synonymous with 

 Tayos, which would seem to have been a 

 Tonkawa tribe. Perhaps it was a general 

 term for the hostile tribes n. and w. of the 

 Hasinai.

Sadekanaktie. A principal Onondaga 

 chief and speaker, first mentioned at a 

 council at Onondaga, N. Y., Jan. 29, 1690. 

 His name is variously spelled, and was 

 the national council name. He was 

 speaker at Albany, Feb. 25, 1693, and then 

 announced Gov. Fletcher's name of Cay- 

 enquiragoe, or Swift Arrow. He was 

 prominent in the councils of 1698 and 

 1699, and went to Albany in 1700 through 

 fear of poisoning. Colden thought his 

 lameness a convenient excuse, but he was 

 carried into a council in 1693 by four 

 men. Sakoghsinnakichte (a fuller form 

 of the name) died in 1701,andat his con- 

 dolence in June another chief bearing the 

 same name was nominated. His name 

 appears in many forms, including Ada- 

 quarande, Adaquarondo, Aqueendera, 

 Aqueendero, Aquenderonde, Kaqueen- 

 dera, Kaqueendero, Sadaganacktie, Sade- 

 ganaktie, Sadeganastie, Sadegeenaghtie, 

 Sadekanaktie, Sakoghsinnakichte, Suda- 

 gunachte. (w. m. b. ) 



Sadekanaktie. An Onondaga chief who 

 succeeded another of that name in 1701, 

 and signed the Beaver land deed of that 

 year and its renewal in 1726. In the first 

 the name is written Sadeganastie; in the 

 second, Sadegeenaghtie, Wolf tribe, his 

 totem being a bent arrow. He made two 

 long speeches at Albany in Aug. 1710, when 

 he was called Kaquendero, but he was 

 not so prominent in council as his prede- 

 cessor had been. (w. m. b. ) 



Sadjugahl-lanas (S^adju^gal hVnas). A 

 family of the Eagle clan of the Haida. 

 They claim to be descended from a woman 

 named Hehlu-keingans, along with the 

 Kona-kegawai, Djiguaahl-lanas, Stawas- 

 haidagai, and Kaiahl-lanas. Until re- 

 cently they did not stand very high in the 

 social scale, but owing to his personal 

 popularity their chief in 1901 had become 

 town chief of Masset. This family is said 

 to have had 4 unnamed subdivisions. —

Sagadahoc (Abnaki: Sangedehok, 'at 

 the river mouth or outflow.' — Gerard). 

 A village at the mouth of Kennebec r., in 

 Sagadahoc co.. Me., in 1614. Kendall, 

 about 1807, found some Indians living at 

 St Francis, Canada, who said they had 

 formerly lived at the mouth of the Ken- 

 nebec. They were probably a part of the 

 Wewenoc or Arosaguntacook.

Sagakomi. The name of a certain smok- 

 ing mixture, or substitute for tobacco, 

 applied also to the bearberry bush ( Ai'c- 

 tostaphylos uva-ursi) or other shrubs the 

 leaves and bark of which are used for 

 the same purpose. The word, which has 

 come into English through Canadian 

 French, is not, as some have supposed 

 (Richard.son, ArcticExped.,ii, 303, 1851), 

 a corruption of the sac-d-commis of the 

 voyageurs and coureurs de bois of the 

 N. W., but is of Algonquian origin. It 

 is derived from sagdkoinhi, which, in 

 Chippewa and closely related dialects, 

 signifies ' smoking-leaf berry. ' The form 

 sagakomi occurs in Lahontan (Voy., ii, 

 53, 1703) and other writers of the early 

 years of the 18th century. (a. f. c. ) 



Sagamite. A porridge of boiled corn, 

 a favorite dish of the early settlers, derived 

 from the Indians. The word occurs early 

 in Canadian French, being found in Sa- 

 gard-Theodat (1632), and survives still 

 in Louisiana, whither it was carried from 

 New France. AsCuoq (Lex. Algonq.,15, 

 1886) points out, the term never meant 

 ' soup ' or ' porridge ' in the language from 

 which it was taken. The word kisaga- 

 mite signifies in Nipissing, Chippewa, 

 and closely related Algonquian dialects, 

 ' the broth [agami) is hot' {kmlgamiten;' it 

 is a hot liquid ' — Baraga) . In English the
